I prefer using English locales for my system, but have to use some old Unicode-unaware Russian and Czech applications. In Windows I could set a locale for such applications in a separate Control Panel place. How can I configure this in Linux/Wine?
How can I force codepage/locale (different from my Linux system locale) for non-Unicode Wine applications?

The idea is to set LANG only for this application.If you start the application from the command line, write something like alias yourapp=export LANG=ru_RU.utf8 /usr/bin/yourapp in ~/.bashrc.If you start the application with a GUI button, you can edit the corresponding desktop file, i.e. open ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers/yourapp.desktop in a text editor and change the line Exec=/usr/bin/yourapp %F to Exec=sh -c LANG=ru_RU.utf8 /usr/bin/foo %F
