How to fix

Locate the method Magento\Deploy\Service\DeployTranslationsDictionary::deploy():

magento/magento2/blob/2.2.0-rc3.0/app/code/Magento/Deploy/Service/DeployTranslationsDictionary.php#L55-L78


/**
 * @param string $area
 * @param string $theme
 * @param string $locale
 * @return void
 */
public function deploy($area, $theme, $locale)
{
    try {
        $this->state->emulateAreaCode($area, function () use ($area, $theme, $locale) {
            $this->deployStaticFile->deployFile(
                $this->jsTranslationConfig->getDictionaryFileName(),
                [
                    'fileName' => $this->jsTranslationConfig->getDictionaryFileName(),
                    'area' => $area,
                    'theme' => $theme,
                    'locale' => $locale
                ]
            );
        });
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        $this->logger->error($e->getMessage());
    }
}

Add the following code at the beginning for the method:

/** @var \Magento\Framework\TranslateInterface $t */
$t = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()->get(
	\Magento\Framework\TranslateInterface::class
);
$t->setLocale($locale)->loadData($area, true);
