Most likely.  See 
<https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Locale-Environment-Variables> 
for the environment variables used.  LANG is the normal one to set.

My guess would be the system default codeset is iso-8859-1, but you have 
put a 'export LANG=xx_XX.UTF-8' inside your .bashrc.  Cron won't read 
that by default.  You can internet search "cron .bashrc" and find 
various solutions to the problem.
