Does it? Even if I'm running a german OS, I absolutely hate to see german diagnostic output from gcc, and I absolutely hate certain programs using non-ASCII chars in output. (In)famous examples are Unicode quoting chars rather than ' or ", or using the Unicode hyphen character rather than -. But that's just me.

You got used to ASCII, like all the old-timers... ;)
export LANG=C is your solution.

By the way, I noticed that with the default locale C.UTF-8 the nl_langinfo(CODESET) C function <langinfo.h> returns wrongly "ISO-8859-1", while if I set LANG to nl_NL.UTF-8 nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns correctly "UTF-8".

The locale command returns LC_ CTYPE="C.UTF-8" and LC_CTYPE="nl_NL.UTF-8".
