the unix command line (bash, ksh, whatever shell you want to use..) is by nature, command based. as far as i am aware, they wont change from ls, or dir, or what ever the equivalent in other languages may be.
however unix is entirely customizable. if you have installed a font that you can use at the terminal, and you have mapped your keyboard as such, you could always alias every unix command, to commands derived from whatever language, using whatever character set you want.
mai, is usually aliased to whatever mail program you use. the default on my system is nail, it works and is simple to use.
so, find out what mail program you are actually using, and see their site for information on sending messages using a different language pack.
possibly you could find a mail client which supports different language modes, which you could switch into that would change your keyboard map and all that so you can send mail in any language you want.
if your mail program dosnt support doing something like that, check out freshmeat.net .
i am almost positive there is something out there that suites your needs.

SHAR(1) BSD General Commands Manual SHAR(1)
NAME
shar -- create a shell archive of files
SYNOPSIS
shar file ...
DESCRIPTION
The shar command writes a sh(1) shell script to the standard output which will recreate the file hierarchy specified by the command line op-
erands. Directories will be recreated and must be specified before the files they contain (the find(1) utility does this correctly).
The shar command is normally used for distributing files by ftp(1) or mail(1).
EXAMPLES
To create a shell archive of the program ls(1) and mail it to Rick:
cd ls
shar `find . -print` | mail -s "ls source" rick
To recreate the program directory:
mkdir ls
cd ls
...
<delete header lines and examine mailed archive>
...
sh archive
SEE ALSO
compress(1), mail(1), tar(1), uuencode(1)
HISTORY
The shar command appeared in 4.4BSD.
BUGS
The shar command makes no provisions for special types of files or files containing magic characters. The shar command cannot handle files
without a newline ('
') as the last character.
It is easy to insert trojan horses into shar files. It is strongly recommended that all shell archive files be examined before running them
through sh(1). Archives produced using this implementation of shar may be easily examined with the command:
egrep -v '^[X#]' shar.file
