10426	"Add a description of language environment variales to ""How to use Django with Apache and mod_python"" doc page"	daybreaker	Jacob	"Hello, I'm a Korean user of Django.

I've suffered from some issues on unicode file paths on mod_python, and finally I found the rescue [http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/django_apache_and_mod_wsgi here].

When you're going to use non-ascii filenames in your Django project running on Apache mod_python, the environment value for LANG should be set properly so that Python's os and os.path module can handle unicode filenames with proper encoding. There was no problem when I run my project with the test server included in Django because the LANG environment variable of my user account was set properly, but on mod_python it wasn't.

I think the official documentation for deployment on mod_python (and maybe mod_wsgi also) should explain how to set the language environment variable properly, for example in this case, using `/etc/apache2/envvars`.
