I have never seen this message since I am a user of mc. Propably it is something new in this new version.

Use the complete name, e.g. cs_CZ.ISO8859-2. To set the above locale in sh and work-alikes use LC_ALL=cs_CZ.ISO8859-2; export LC_ALL (the syntax you tried, but your locale spec was wrong, and that's why it protested). To set the above locale in csh and work-alikes use setenv LC_ALL cs_CZ.ISO8859-2
