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
