i took the locale.tgz, ran "tar -xvzf / locale.tgz" on it, then edited
/etc/profile.

vi still DOES in english. you'd have to add something in passwd in order to
change
the language (users language?). I know this from FreeBSD tutorial.

if you just add

LC_ALL=iso_8859_1
export LC_ALL

to /etc/profile,

your vi is still german, but you can use üäö.
