In FC3's current version of ssh stuff there is a new? (to me) flag

     ssh -o"SendEnv blat" xtl1

If this works as expected one could pass $LANG and get a forward
looking language match.  Language and timezone info seem like good
choices of variables to pass.  This is not enabled by default
and warrants some inspection...

Setting LANG on the remote system to match that on the local system should make messages from locale-aware programs look right, but ls and Bash don't transcode filenames so file listings would be damaged and filenames typed on the command line would be wrong.
