    Try to add some lines to your config files:

    ~/.cshrc:
     setenv LANG en_US.ISO8859-15

    ~/.shrc:
     LANG=en_US.ISO8859-15

    ~/.login_conf:
     me:\
            :charset=iso-8859-15:\
            :lang=en_US.ISO8859-15:\

    This works for me - if you use german language apps replace "en_US.ISO8859-15"
    by "de_DE.ISO8859-15". You can find some more infos in 'man setlocale' and
    'man environ'. To display your current locale settings use the command
    'locale'.

    Cheers,
    ch
