How do I change the (Windows) language?

[The Mojo]

I tried to run a game (EWRevenge), it gave me a DLL error. So, I downloaded the missing DLL file and now it runs. But a window pops up and says I can only run the app if my language is set to English (further confusing me because I assume it is in English by default).

So my question is, how do I do that?

Try:
regedit in terminal
go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International
Locale ( 0407 ).
This is 407 for me and thats for Germany.
You need to find the Code for England and also set the sCountry and sLanguage in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International .
Hope this works.

Run your program this way:

Code: Select all

LANG=en_US.utf-8 wine program.exe

You need to find the Code for England and also set the sCountry and sLanguage in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International .

That won't work. It will be overwritten at the startup time.

Hmm.

Well thanks for the help. The "Lang=US" code didn't work though, still got an error.

I emailed the guy who put this game in the AppDB, he also reported this bug, hopefully he'll know what to do.
