The offer on i18n.
The new variable, for example 'locale' (by default equal 'C') is added. Rules of a filtration look so:
...
locale = X.Y
filter f1...
action...

filter f2
action ...

...

locale = C
filter fN...
action...

At analysis rc as soon as meets ' locale = X.Y ' it is caused ' setlocale (LC_ALL, X.Y) ' and regular expressions for 'mask' (if are compiled 
Compilation is necessary). At generation of a code for 'SEARCH', the current value 'locale' is analyzed. If it is not equal 'C' it is generated 
' SEARCH CHARSET Y. '.

In this case compatibility with already working .rc is kept.
