Bug ID: 45670 Summary: WeChat requires explicitly setting locale for Chinese to be displayed. Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: lockywolf@gmail.com Distribution: ---
So I'm trying to run WeChat on Wine.
If all required configuration steps are performed (such as installing the native riched), I can run it almost flawlessly with the following command-line:
LC_ALL=zh_CN.utf8 wine WeChat.exe
If the locale is not set, then WeChat displays Chinese characters as tofu.
On Windows, however, there is not need to run WeChat through AppLocale, or, basically, set the locale in any way, WeChat still runs fine, displaying all Chinese needed.
There should be some way to avoid explicitly setting locale when running WeChat.
