Is it possible to get a localised Unix shell, for example, in japanese, arabic or hebrew? Since it should fit on a CD, I want to save space by using Byobu instead of a GUI. But I would like to have an localised command-line interface (at least for logging in).

You can put :

LANG=ja_JP.UTF8

in /etc/default/locale, and 

sudo locale-gen

See /etc/locale.alias for a list of settings.
