Summary: MacOS LANG=xyz wine winecfg does not switch
                    language/locale

Hi,

on my Mac, LANG=C or LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 wine winecfg has no effect at all, unlike
a Linux machine. winecfg's texts are always displayed in German.

locale -a lists a lot of locales. "LANG=C ls -l" reacts instantly.

OTOH, going to the Mac system preferences and moving French or English upfront
manages to switch the language in winecfg (and Terminal.app and others), the
next time it's started.

For the purpose of Wine, I believe the local LANG setting should be obeyed, not
the desktop session setting.

Note that I have no idea how to start Wine outside of a Terminal.app context
(no Wine[Helper].app here). So LANG is always set when I start Wine in the
shell.
