It seems to be a trend in current distros to move to UTF8-based locales. Those
support everything you throw at them. On my system (FC6), it's like so:
$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
With this locale setting I can type any language I set my keyboard to. Most
applications handle it gracefully (Qt- and GTK- based ones do, at least).
I don't think that there's any way to go about those things but to use
UTF8-encoded locale. Since UTF8 is just the encoding, the actual locale
(language and locality) can be set separately. You could have by_BY.UTF-8, or
even ru_BY.UTF-8.
