Localizing For Japanese Language (Completely New to Wine)
I know this topic has been covered before in the forum, but I am a completely new and a nub to WINE and coding in general. Can anyone walk me through every step in getting WINE to run in a Japanese locale? I am running it on OSX and have the code LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 ./wine winecfg but have no idea what to do with it. Sorry for my stupidity!

Re: Localizing For Japanese Language (Completely New to Wine
We cannot step by step guide you if you're not using plain Wine.
Source: MacOSX/FAQs - The Official Wine WikiHow can I switch the locale?
This Wiki and other Wine documentation mention setting the environment variable LANG. This works for UNIX but deliberately does not work with Wine on MacOS for reasons enumerated in this thread. Instead, set the variable LC_MESSAGES, e.g. use LC_MESSAGES=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine japanese.exe or LC_MESSAGES=ja_JP.SJIS or LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR.UTF-8
