Ok, I understand. Can you please give me some guidelines to correctly setup 
locales? I already installed "es-ES", but  still receive the hexadecimal output

Thanks,

That is the purpose of the -Oa client option, yes.

Correct - the -O* output options are for the client applications only.
The SNMP agent doesn't use them (since in general it's not actually displaying 
any information).
   If you check the snmpd(8) man page, you'll see that -O is not mentioned.

You've already found it - use '-Oa' on the *client* side, not the agent.
(Or set the locale to recognise these as printable characters, as Wes suggests).
