Changing the language that wine runs in (testing language versions of dialogs)

[Reece Dunn]

Hi,

Looking at http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18125, it has
winecfg from wine 1.1.19 running in Spanish. The screenshot shows that
the static text is wrapped over 4 lines, but the text is clipped
(should be 8x4 dlus high). This is not the issue reported there, but I
would like to fix it and improve the layout.

So, how do I change locale? Especially from a just-built version of Wine.

I have tried:
    LANG=es ./wine winecfg
    LANG=es.UTF-8 ./wine winecfg
    LC_ALL=es ./wine winecfg
    LC_ALL=es.UTF-8 ./wine winecfg
and
    export LANG=es && ./wine winecfg
variants.

I have also tried changing the system regional and language settings.
None of these have worked. It's not on the FAQ either.

I am using Kubuntu 9.04.

Thanks,
- Reece

You have to make sure that the locale you are trying to use is there
in your system (see locale -a). My corrent lcale is ru_RU.UTF-8 and
wine runs correspondingly. When I run

LC_ALL=C wine regedit
LANG=C wine regedit
LANG=C wine winecfg
LANG=C winecfg

It all works: wine starts displaying all dialogs in english. This
works well with precompiled binaries also.

LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 ./wine winecfg
works for me. The language code is "es_ES" and not just "es".

Thanks everyone for the hints. I'll try these when I get back to my
development machine.

That works. I have started a page on the wiki
(http://wiki.winehq.org/TestingLanguages) to document how to launch
Wine in the different languages. It's not complete yet.

Thanks for the help,

I did the attached script a while ago for dialog testing before
Wine-1.0,
but it works also for the programs.
The given command is run in every translated language on seperate
virtual Desktops.

Examples:
WINETEST_INTERACTIVE=1 winetest_rc
dlls/localui/tests/localui_test.exe.so

winetest_rc programs/winecfg/winecfg.exe.so

For me, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8 switches Wine to operate with Japanese
codepage for font rendering and selection.

See dlls/kernel32/locale.c for general POSIX locale to codepage mapping,
and gdi32/freetype.c for nls_update_font_list which maps code pages
to fonts for the Windows UI fonts which vary between countries.
