Running games on Wine on Linux with Japanese locale

[Mist Ephemeral]

I couldn't find a topic about it, so I thought I'd share it.

To run Windows games that require Japanese locale through Linux, what I do and that usually works is running the following command from the terminal:

LC_ALL=ja_JP wine /path/to/the/game's/executable.exe

There's probably a more GUI-friendly way to do it with Lutris, but I haven't used it much to know.

And probably Proton follows the same syntax as Wine, given the other commands I've seen were the same among them.

Hopefully this is helpful for someone.

This is something that might be beneficial to @Saetron!

You can indeed change the locale in the Lutris System options of wine.
