Tramp determines the locale environment on the remote host, and keeps
its value in the cache. Usually, this is something like "LC_ALL=en_US.utf8"
or "LC_ALL=C.utf8". Check the file ~/.emacs.d/tramp for such settings.
You could change it in this file to your preferred value, like "LC_ALL=C".
This must be done *prior* Tramp is activated in Emacs.
With a recent Tramp version (say 2.2.12), it is possible to set this
value in your ~/.emacs (without patching ~/.emacs.d/tramp), like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'tramp-connection-properties
(list (regexp-quote "/ssh:user@randomhost.your.domain:")
"locale" "LC_ALL=C"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Read the Tramp manual (info "(tramp) Predefined connection information")
Best regards, Michael.
