@Yuan,

My patch refers LC_CTYPE first, so you can specify different locale to LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES for example. And of cource you can manually export UNZIP and ZIPINFO variables on your ~/.profile. I understand my patch is for short-term workaround.

FWIW, unar supports encoding autodetection, but unzip does not. You can see auto-dection result by:
$ sudo apt-get install unar
$ lsar -l -pe /PATH/TO/ZIPFILE
I'm not sure if file-roller supports unar backend or not.
