Hi,
    I'm very glad to read your words as I'm Chinese too. Well I've tried wine for running software of Windows but unfortunately I found it very poor in supporting Chinese.Well,any solution is appreciated.
    Cheers!

You need to be specific. What is poor? Do Chinese characters not display
properly? Can you not input them properly? Do applications not detect
that you are running in a Chinese locale?

Hi,Rob
    Hmm Chinese characters were shown as "??". I think there must be something wrong with the code page. Either can't I input Chinese characters. Applications could not detect their running in Chinese local correctly. I think wine still need a great improvement in supporting multiple languages but the task is of low priority.
    Best regards!

I can only partially reproduce this. Using LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 with e.g.
notepad, I see all menu items in Chinese.Also messageboxes (e.g. "File
does not exist") come out correctly.

However,if I use the file-open dialog, only the caption and header
(detailed view) are correctly shown, the labels, however, display
Chinese characters as boxes (approx. "[]").
If I type something into that edit field (using SCIM) I also only get
these [] for Chinese characters.

[Somehow there seems to be a font-selection problem, but only with the
label and edit-field fonts.]

In the main window of notepad I have no problem to enter Chinese
characters (well, I have to change the "System" font to e.g. "Arial
Unicode" to see the characters instead of "|".)

Actually, with regards entering Chinese characters, it also works with,
e.g.,LANG=de_DE.UTF-8.

Hmm, I played around with a real Windows program (instead of Wine's
notepad) and there I have more trouble. In Origin I fail to enter
Chinese characters into the tables or axis labels: they are converted
into "??". (I think the program converts them to "??" as while I type
"|" rather than "??" is shown; why | is shown even for Arial Unicode, I
do not understand.)

Hendric and Xiaojing, can you give a bit more explicit on what works and
what not. Especially, what locale do you use. And if entering Chinese
characters does not work, which input system do you use (kinput2, SCIM,
...). And last not least: Which Wine version do you use?
Can you try notepad if your application does not work, just to check.

Regards,

Tobias

What is your locale in the terminal where you are running wine? Check 
the output of:

env | egrep "(LC_|LANG)"

Hi,all
    As further test shown under my FC4 Linux with default Chinese support ,real windows applications were almost proper showing Chinese characters but little applications such as notepad. When I tried an open-save dialog, file names could not correctly shown .I checked my locale by env | egrep "(LC_|LANG)" and the result was LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8.My input method for typing Chinese characters in is Fcitx (an input method developed by Chinese). My wine is of version 0.9.12. By the way,when I set my locale to en_US.UTF-8,no applications could show Chinese characters properly. 
    Best regards.
