How to confirm the file locale.
 

Now I am using solaris 10 to tar files. but some files is using zh_TW locale. And my default LANG is POSIX.
Then, tar sometimes told that the conversion is failure. I want to set LANG to be consistent with the file locale. But I am not sure what is the file locale. Because many zh_TW is available on my solaris box.
I wonder if there is a method to confirm file locale.

What are the errors you have with tar ?
How are the tar files created ?

To my understanding, the locale doesn't matter, but the directory and filename encoding may lead to some trouble.

Yes, the locales does not match and get the following errors.
