[jira] [Created] (GUACAMOLE-649) Allow SSH locale to be set automatically

Michael Jumper created GUACAMOLE-649:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow SSH locale to be set automatically
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-649
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-649
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SSH
            Reporter: Michael Jumper


Common SSH clients like Putty seems to automatically forward the user's locale settings during the connection process. The mechanism which allows this appears to be the standard POSIX {{LANG}} environment variable.

Without providing some mechanism for specifying the locale, the language on the remote side may not match expectations, and the character set may be set to something which is not UTF-8, resulting in compatibility issues.
