The input-output encoding of C locale is plain ASCII, so any non- ASCII encodings are going to cause garbage. Hence the problem with file names that you see (they are probably stored as UTF-8 in the file system). The correct way to change a language through environment variable for an ordinary Gettext-based program is through LANGUAGE. This takes only the language code, not the full locale name. E.g. LANGUAGE=en_US. KDE programs however respect LANGUAGE only if the language has not been set through System Settings. If it was, then one has to use KDE_LANG variable instead. -- Chusslove Illich (Часлав Илић)
