When we call gpg.exe under German LANG/LOCALE with any option in a Windows 10 Console-Window, that runs as a so called "Legacy-Console" with selected "TrueType-Fonts", i'm experiencing a duplicated output of any message, that is expected at this moment.
Used translations:
C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\share\locale\de\LC_MESSAGES\gnupg2.mo
C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\share\locale\de\LC_MESSAGES\libgpg-error.mo
Codepage
(The Codepage 850 or 65001 (UTF-8) is not relevant here ...)
C:\Users\localuser\Desktop>chcp Aktive Codepage: 850.
For example (Windows 10 commandline-window as Legacy-Console with "Lucida Console" as TTF-Font selected) german translation.

Also a Standard-Windows 10 Console (no legacy), does not have this issue ...
You may also check this issue with other commandline-options like: "--help" or "--gen-key", etc. ...
I've tested that issue with GnuPG 2.2.28 - 2.2.36.
Maybe it could be an string-termination issue or an issue in the german translation-file (po/mo) with the Windows 10 Legacy-Console-API ...
Also Microsoft states that the "Legacy"-version has only rudimentary utf-8 support.
