Description

Common SSH clients like Putty seems to automatically forward the user's locale settings during the connection process. The mechanism which allows this appears to be the standard POSIX LANG environment variable.

Without providing some mechanism for specifying the locale, the language on the remote side may not match expectations, and the character set may be set to something which is not UTF-8, resulting in compatibility issues.
