that is what I use for my german users:
german|German Users Accounts:\
:charset=UTF-8:\
:lang=de_DE.UTF-8:\
:tc=default:
I have been using UTF-8 encoding for about a year now everywhere;
combined with an xterm using a good Unicode font and vim I have not
seen problems with that and see much less cases of unreadable garbage
in files. I use the font from x11-fonts/dejavu starting xterm with
parameter -fa 'DejaVu Sans Mono'.
