On all my Dutch Windows all group names are localized apart from
544/Administrators.

# id
uid=1000(Frank) gid=513(Geen)
groups=513(Geen),0(root),544(Administrators),545(Gebruikers)

But I agree checking the numeric value is better.

Thanks for considering.
The other PS1 setting (user AT host dir) is also in bash.bashrc. That's
why I suggested bash.bashrc.
