Encoding is taken from LANG, program interface speaks in whatever language is set in LANGUAGE (if not set, fallback to LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, LANG), so you just have to take care of setting the "broadest possible encoding" in your LANG variable (or LC_* for that matter), which seems to be UTF-8 these days. The only problem remains that many applications are not UTF-8 ready (aptitude comes to mind, nvi, ...)
