This is taken from the Emacs manual (I believe that XEmacs works the same way)(http://www.gnu.org/s/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Language- Environments.html) :
"Some operating systems let you specify the character-set locale you are using by setting the locale environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, or LANG.2 During startup, Emacs looks up your character-set locale's name in the system locale alias table, matches its canonical name against entries in the value of the variables locale-charset-language-names and locale-language-names, and selects the corresponding language environment if a match is found. (The former variable overrides the latter.) It also adjusts the display table and terminal coding system, the locale coding system, the preferred coding system as needed for the locale, and—last but not least—the way Emacs decodes non-ASCII characters sent by your keyboard. If you modify the LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, or LANG environment variables while running Emacs, you may want to invoke the set-locale-environment function afterwards to readjust the language environment from the new locale."
