Perhaps the better way to solve this issue is to use aliases table. What is the LC_CTYPE environment variable set when the default language set to non-English? How different native MacOS X command-line programs behave when set LC_CTYPE to other encoding (e.g. ASCII, US-ASCII, ISO8859-1, ISO-8859-1, Latin1)? What if set it to UTF8 (no minus) or utf-8 (lower case)?
