The proposed fix will set the locale for all streams including those that are used to read and copy the content of files. However CMake currently does not define or understand character encoding for its input files and is not able to handle files containing anything except 7-bit ASCII characters. (CTest knows how to handle UTF-8 encoded test output, but that is separate.)

I'm not prepared to make this change without a full patch for internationalization along with tests and documentation. It will probably have to be discussed on the developer's list:

Fixed by switching to utf-8 internally.
