But every Linux I know uses utf-8 now. E.g. German uses de_DE.UTF-8 and English uses en_US.UTF-8. Since I don't know what compositioninput does, I thought it better to restrict it to the languages you mentioned.

So, how would it affect the other languages?

I previously thought the encoding part of LANG referred to file names. I was surprised you thought it had anything to do with X11 input.
