How to permanently change the locale of Wine

Post by vince.fls »

Hi guys,
I just installed Wine on my mac and successfully installed a PC game. However, since my mac is run in English and the game itself is in Chinese, all the characters in the game changed to symbols. I have read on this forum that I need to change the locale of wine so that it can read Chinese. I have changed it several times but every time I shut off Wine the locale returns to English again. So I am wondering if there is a code of something that can permanently change it for good. Thanks.

Not in Wine. On Linux you can edit the command in any menu/desktop links to include the appropriate LANG variable, but I don't know about Macs.

Winecfg does not have any option to change the language. The normal way is the method you posted.

You will need to change the executable that you start and add the locale in front of it just like you do from command line.

Thanks for the help. I am not sure if I am following.
I use Terminal to run wine and as the attached picture shows, I can change the locale; however, it seems like it cannot find Wine that has installed on my mac...

The problem is I can run the PC game I installed by double clicking it, but since I need to change the locale before, I have to use Terminal instead...

But I am not sure if I am doing it right. Thanks.
