Tatsuo,
fts configuration doesn't related to the encoding ! It's fully up to you
how to combine parser and dictionaries.
The problem arise only if you want
to define somehow so-called default configuration, which, as I inclined
now, is a bad feature. We choose locale name to identify default confgiuration,
for 8.3 people suggested to have language name.
