Are you starting it with the correct LANG variable and do you have the necessary fonts installed?

There's more than one version of Chinese; you'll have to figure out which one your app needs.
Simplified: zh_CN.UTF-8
Traditional: zh_TW.UTF-8

Follow the instructions in http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal to run your app from a terminal, but start the line with the LANG variable you need. For example:

Code: Select all

LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 wine /path/to/executable
(use the actual path to the executable)

Not sure what you mean by "changed his directory," as the LANG variable has nothing to do with directories, and the variable is only set for that terminal session. Nothing is permanently changed by it.

You can try using Wine's uninstaller to uninstall the program, but simply deleting the wineprefix is easier.
