This is a headbreaker for a long time. I see now it's OSX.. i change it system-wide and it works perfect

When i add this the LANG in Centos6 and Fedora is also my preferred LANG. You can also "uncheck" export or set locale in terminal settings (OSX) /etc/profile

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
