I think so. It also depends whether you have properly installed locales.

I can see identical interfaces (on my Debian unstable system) with any of
these values for the $LANG variable:

    de_DE, de_DE.iso88591, de_DE.utf8, german=20

Note that I don't have an option of setting it to de_DE.UTF-8, it's utf8 fo=
r my=20
system.=20

On the other hand, if it works with de_DE.UTF-8 on your machine, why don't =
you=20
just always use that LANG?
