Unicode support: LANG env variables is not getting passed

[GRbit]

When I connect with usual ssh and type some Cyrillic letters it's ok, but when I connect via ssh3 and try to type something Cyrillic, the command line just brakes, only one letter make it broken.

Also when I try to list a directory with files not in standard ASCII symbols, is shows quite strange escaped characters. ls -la command gives me something like this:

Your LANG and/or LC_* variable(s) is not getting passed correctly.

Your LANG and/or LC_* variable(s) is not getting passed correctly.

Thank you very much! Indeed, setting those variables helped and solved the problem instantly. I think I can add them into .bashrc file to be sure they are always set.

At the same time, I wonder what is the reason these variables are not getting passed? Do you know to fix it once and for all?

[GRbit]

I found that for openssh there are default settings that allow passing locale variables. For client settings there is SendEnv LANG LC_* and for server AcceptEnv LANG LC_*.

Is there any similar way to pass it correctly in ssh3? I have en_GB.utf8 by default on my local machine and on my server. For some reason export LANG=es_GB.UTF-8 in my current ssh session doesn't work properly, but export LANG=C.utf8 does.

It's possible that your remote system don't have a en_GB "locale archive". On glibc systems locales are read from these archives for startup speed, but generating them takes time and disk space, so most people just turn on a handful of locales. locale-gen and /etc/locale.gen are what you want to search up
