Ok, I got it to work good enough using .login_conf like you said now. I had=
 already tried that, so I don't know what was wrong before. =

Both accents and extra letters now work in sh, csh and vi, but not in ed an=
d cdcontrol, I also see the "=A3" isn't working in ttyv, but unless someone=
 has a quick solution for those problems, I won't care about that for now. =

The translation of FreeBSD itself to Norwegian is started it seems, but it =
looks like it's still over 99% in English. However, this means all new prog=
rams I install from ports or packages who are translated, like Firefox, wil=
l be in Norwegian, right?

Also, when I type locale, I can see some of the values are inside quotes fo=
r some reason  (it's not written like that in the .login_conf file), and so=
me are not, the values with quotes don't set the variables, like $LC_TIME. =
But $LANG and $LC_ALL work, so it's probably no problem there.
