Exploring WineHQ Forums: Can we run Hindi language software using Wine on Linux?

[Marhtalok]

I'm curious if anyone has experience running Hindi language software on Linux using Wine. I'm particularly interested in the potential challenges and workarounds for ensuring proper font rendering, input methods, and overall compatibility. Any insights or tips from the WineHQ community would be greatly appreciated!

Hello

hindi should work as I find it in the list of the supported languages

Code: Select all

grep hi /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
hi_IN UTF-8
hif_FJ UTF-8

as I do not have it I can't test

Code: Select all

locale -a
C
C.utf8
fr_FR.utf8
POSIX

you should try

Code: Select all

LANG=hi_IN winecfg

or

Code: Select all

LANG=hi_IN.utf8  winecfg

and see if hindi is dislayed

It is possible that you will need to install some fonts to display hindi correctl
