The FAQ was merged in the i18n documentation file to avoid having many

@chapter Troubleshooting
If I18N support does not work for you, check these:
@itemize @minus
@item
the @env{LANG} environment variable is set to your locale, and
the locale is supported by your OS's locale or X's locale
emulation. you can display all supported locales by
executing "@command{locale -a}" command if it is available; you
can check if your locale is supported by X's locale emulation,
see @file{/usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias}
@item
check if you are using an appropriate fonts for the locale you
chose. If you're using a font set that has a different
encoding than the one used by @sc{Xlib} or @sc{libc}, bad things can
happen. Try specifically putting the encoding in the @env{LANG}
variable, like @code{ru_RU.KOI8-R}. Again, see
@file{/usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias}
@item
the fonts you're using support your locale. if your font
setting on @file{$HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker} is like...
@example
WindowTitleFont = "Trebuchet MS:bold:pixelsize=12";
MenuTitleFont = "Trebuchet MS:bold:pixelsize=12";
@end example
then you can't display Asian languages (@code{ja}, @code{ko}, @code{ch}, ...) characters using
@code{Trebuchet MS}. A font that is guaranteed to work for any language is
@code{sans} (or @code{sans-serif}). @code{sans} is not a font itself, but an alias which
points to multiple fonts and will load the first in that list that
has the ability to show glyphs in your language. If you don't know
a font that is suited for your language you can always set all your
fonts to something like:
@example
"sans:pixelsize=12"
@end example
However, please note that if your font is something like:
@example
"Trebuchet MS,sans serif:pixelsize=12"
@end example
this will not be able to display Asian languages if any of the
previous fonts before sans are installed. This is because unlike
the proper font pickup that @code{sans} guarantees for your language,
this construct only allows a font fallback mechanism, which tries
all the fonts in the list in order, until it finds one that is
available, even if it doesn't support your language.
Also you need to change font settings in style files in
the @file{$HOME/Library/WindowMaker/Style} directory.
@item
the @env{LC_CTYPE} environment variable is unset or it has the correct
value. If you don't know what is the correct value, unset it.
@end itemize
