Which means that my input method can be in japanese, but that all programs are in english. However, some programs (wine notepad and some installers etc) have some of the text in Japanese. Wine notepad has the "open file" dialog in Japanese, but the menus are in english.
If the output above is produced by 'locale' command, then it's a known issue. Wine uses environment variables (see dlls/kernel/locale.c,init_default_lcid()) to detect the current locale but they often are not set properly.
