[Bug 23625] New: user localisation error: wrong program menu entries created in KDE menu upon installation

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23625

Summary: user localisation error: wrong program menu entries
                    created in KDE menu upon installation
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2-rc7
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: msi
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

My system: Debian Lenny(stable) - KDE 3.5.10
user locale: de_de@euro (aka. ISO-8859-15) - root locale: de_de.UTF8

Wine seems to be oblivious of german special characters(umlauts), when creating
KDE menu entries upon program installation.
Example for DVD Shrink installation (same with others):

env WINEPREFIX="/home/the_user/.wine" wine C:\windows\command\start.exe
/Unix /home/the_user/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Startmen/Programme/DVD\
Shrink/DVD\ Shrink\ 3.2.lnk

Look at the part: c:/users/Public/Startmen/Programme/

The correct entry should have been: c:/users/Public/Startmenü/Programme/

Wine is neglecting the "ü" character, thus no menu entry works.

The folder at the given path was correctly created by wine with the name:
Startmenü

Manually editing the above entry line does not work.

P.S.:
I need to use the said user locale as some of my programs (esp. my homebanking
app) do not support UTF8 encoding.

This is wrong locale name. Try de_DE.UTF-8

Plain B.S.
de_DE@euro is a valid locale for western european languages according to ISO
8859-15 (Latin-9) and is supported by all major distros and should be no
problem with wine, unless wine intentionally disregards all other language
encodings besides UTF8.

Why I cannot/did not use th ede_DE.UTF8 loacle, I wrote in my posting.

Did you actually test de_DE.UTF-8 ?

Desktop files are specified to be in UTF-8, though strictly speaking non-ASCII
chars are not allowed in the Exec key. It does say that expanded field codes
need to be converted to the proper locale, and I'd argue that KDE should be
recoding the command line the same way, even if that's technically not required
by the spec.

This has not been updated for over 900 days.

Is this still an issue in 1.6-rc1 or higher or is this abandoned ?
