Setting LANG is good enough for 99% of the use cases. Winecfg should only be
for things that many users want to change.

Thanks Alexandre Julliard for your reply .

Yes LANG runs fine . but when using many languages it will be boring .

So a button do this function serve making wine easy .

Also Windows has an ability to choose the language in unicode places.

It doesn't make Wine easy to add configuration buttons for every single
possible setting, on the contrary.

So do most Unix desktops, that's where users are expected to change it.
