Our worked-out proposal is as follows: /etc/profile.d/lang.sh: # if no locale variable is set, indicate terminal charset via LANG test -z "${LC_ALL:-${LC_CTYPE:-$LANG}}" && export LANG=C.UTF-8 /etc/profile.d/lang.csh: # if no locale variable is set, indicate terminal charset via LANG ( test $?LC_ALL = 0 || test -z "$LC_ALL" ) && ( test $?LC_CTYPE = 0 || test -z "$LC_CTYPE" ) && ( test $?LANG = 0 || test -z "$LANG" ) && setenv LANG C.UTF-8 where the details of how lang.sh or lang.csh, resp., are invoked, are up to you.
