Our worked-out proposal is as follows:


/etc/profile.d/lang.sh:

# if no locale variable is set, indicate terminal charset via LANG
test -z "${LC_ALL:-${LC_CTYPE:-$LANG}}" && export LANG=C.UTF-8

/etc/profile.d/lang.csh:

# if no locale variable is set, indicate terminal charset via LANG
( test $?LC_ALL = 0 || test -z "$LC_ALL" ) && ( test $?LC_CTYPE = 0 || test -z "$LC_CTYPE" ) && ( test $?LANG = 0 || test -z "$LANG" ) && setenv LANG C.UTF-8


where the details of how lang.sh or lang.csh, resp., are invoked, are up 
to you.

Kind regards,
Thomas
