Something like this will get you correct German:
export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
Something like this will get you correct English:
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Check the names of the directories in /usr/share/locale for the
correct locale names on your system.

If you want to see the values too, use "svn proplist -v"

Subversion treats files as text if their MIME type begins with
"text/". Use anything else to have Subversion treat it as binary. The
commonly-accepted MIME type for PDFs is "application/pdf".

That would be the correct way to set the MIME types on the PDF files
in the current directory, yes.
