Show the exact command you used to start your program. Also what distro?

If you type locale -a, do you see ru_RU.utf8 in the list? If not, you need to type this:

Code: Select all

sudo locale-gen ru_RU.UTF-8

Then try again (using LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 wine appname.exe)

Thanks guys it works! First I did
sudo locale-gen ru_RU.UTF-8
then
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 wine program.exe
Good thing will keep it in my notes.

Good to hear that worked. Note that you should only have to do a locale-gen once, ever (unless of course (re)installing the OS).

On binary distros you don't need to do that, it should be part of one of packages.
