This is most probably not related to regional settings, but
it can be a *very* bad error nonetheless. In this context
'region' means a different thing, it is a GDI (Graphic
Device Interface) concept designating an area of
the screen.
I think that your app is probably not working because
of this 'region' problem...

Wine can use the registry to get at user defined regional
settings. But if the app ask to not access user defined
regional settings, Wine will use the system defaults,
defined in the relevant file in dlls/kernel/nls, the relevant
file being selected by what the app is wanting.
Usually the regional parameters the app will ask can be
determined (indirectly) by several environments variables
of the U*x user, see GetUserDefaultLangID routine in
ole/ole2nls.c
Run with -debugmsg +relay,+string in case of doubt.
Watch for the calls to GetLocaleInfo
