Ok.

I'm not sure why you add an rtpbin here, this is already contained
inside rtspsrc. Basically what you want to do is everything you did in
the first pipeline, just that instead of decoding you want to save into
a file. So try something like this:

gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://44.143.145.186:5131/0 ! queue !
rtph264depay ! h264parse ! mpegtsmux ! filesink location=file.ts

You should be able to get them in English by doing

LANG=C gst-launch-1.0 ...

for what it's worth (or LC_ALL=C).
