What are you talking about? It *does* detect your locale. It assumes
your log message is written in your system locale... not a
particularly crazy assumption. :-) It uses this system locale to
convert the log message to UTF8, and uses it again when trying to
display the UTF8 back on your screen. What more 'detection' can it
do? You want it to try and guess the encoding of your log message, by
examining each byte?

It takes a locale argument, like "ISO-8859-1". If you're on a linux
box, trying running "locale" to see your system locale, or "locale -m"
to see all available locales.
