WINE is ignoring locale settings

Post by dziki »

Even on plain WINEPREFIX I am unable to get Polish-specific chars to work.
On unix (Arch x64) everytching works fine.

Wine is setting wrong codepage in registry ( in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Fonts\Codepages apears "1252,437" while it should be "1252,437")

Code: Select all

$ locale
LANG=pl_PL.utf8
LC_CTYPE="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_TIME="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_PAPER="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_NAME="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="pl_PL.utf8"                                                                                                                                    
LC_MEASUREMENT="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="pl_PL.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Running

Code: Select all

$ LC_ALL=pl_PL wine notepad.exe

-- or --
$ export LC_ALL=pl_PL
$ export LANG=pl_PL
$ wine notepad.exe
doesn't do the job. Both on wine wine-1.1.43 and wine-1.2_rc2-1

Help me pleas :)

I'm confused. Looks like you have a cut-n-paste error. What actually
is in your registry: "1252" is the code page for English/C. If that is
all that is appearing, something is not correct based upon what you
wrote here:

There is a way to force this, but since I'm on a Mac it does not work.
I actually have to change the codepage at the top of the screen for this
to work.

Yeah, sorry that last reply of mine didn't make sense (as you've already tried that).

If I start with pl_PL.UTF-8 on a clean .wine I get 1250,852 in the registry. (1252,437 normally for me).

So sorry, no idea what is wrong on your box.

So there a way to force wine to use codepage and ignore LC_* LANG etc. ? Where can i find it?

Might it all because wine looks for UTF-8 and ignores utf8?
I don't know if it has something in common but I found that glibc converts UTF-8 to utf8, and programs should use its functions to get locale and charsets not system vars.

Looks like the use of Polish and Cyrillic is causing problems here, but
I'm not certain.

After removing cyrlic and us from locale.gen, generating, reboot.
In rc.conf a have LOCALE="pl_PL.UTF-8"

Code: Select all

$ locale -a

pl_PL
pl_PL.iso88592
pl_PL.utf8
polish

Looks like this is in your registry. Can you check what locale is set
there?

But I have also a resolution:

LC_ALL=pl_PL wine notepad

I want all manuals in English and I have a global setting of LC_ALL to en_US. That's why my wine was resistant to Polish characters.
