How about setting the locale to en_US with the system-messages-locale
variable when running the function?

This is the description of system-messages-locale from the Elisp
Reference Manual:

     This variable specifies the locale to use for generating system
     error messages.  Changing the locale can cause messages to come
     out in a different language or in a different orthography.  If the
     variable is `nil', the locale is specified by environment
     variables in the usual POSIX fashion.

Ok.
