On the command-line, it's very easy to have Subversion use a
different locale. Just set the environment variable:

LANG=fr_FR svn info

That should work for any locale-aware Unix program, not just Subversion.

Specifically to your question about keyword expansion, since keyword
expansion occurs on the client side when you check out or update, it
appears that you should set the locale at the time when you check out
or update:

LANG=fr_FR svn co $REPO [$WC]

For TortoiseSVN, I have no idea where it gets its locale information
from; if that's important to you, ask on their mailing list.
