ok, so it's your terminal (or rather, environment) that's not set up
as you need.

you can fix it by
% setenv LANG en_US.ISO8859-1
or
% export LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1
depending on the type of shell you use.
permanent fix lies in your shell's start up files. export $LANG with
appropriate value from there.
