It sounds to me like the gpg-agent process that is running on your
system has a different locale.
GnuPG asks the agent for a new passphrase, which in turn displays the
prompt.

unfortunately, it depends on how your gpg-agent is initialized, which we
don't have enough information on here. perhaps it was launched before
your locale was set to en_US.UTF-8?
One thing you can try as a workaround is to kill off the gpg-agent and
it should get manually restarted on subsequent use:
gpgconf --kill gpg-agent
maybe someone with more info about how MacOS and Homebrew manage
per-user services can weigh in on better workarounds, or suggest a more
principled fix for that platform.
