wine users - Aug 2009 - problem with typing in language other than english

Hello, all

I need to type in more than 1 language in one text file in notepad of wine.
I am using KDE and wine-1.1.24.

When i change the "input language" in KDE with Alt-Ctrl-K key , most
of the
keys in notepad of wine will not display any character any others will type
the "?" character.  :-(

Please tell me in detail:

1 - How must i activate "input language" changing in wine ?

2 - After that, when i am running a notepad with wine , with what key i can
change the "input language", or bring up "input language"
icon of taskbar of
Win-XP ?( that this changing can be done in Win-XP by Alt-Shift keys)

thanks

Make sure your locale is set properly (LANG env var points to your language and
and en_EN).

Thanks vitamin
but i tested the setting of LANG environment parameter,
but if you think i must set the LANG parameter in some special way please
tell me the exact syntax of this setting that you think it is correct and i
will test it so.
for example for arabic language you think i must set what and when ?

thanks

What have you set it to? It should be the locale of your language. For example
for Russian it would be LANG=ru_RU.utf8. So you need:

Code:
export LANG=ru_RU.utf8
wine notepad


Or as one command:

Code:
LANG=ru_RU.utf8 wine notepad

Thanks

but after these commands and in notepad when i changed to keybourd layout
from english to other language by Alt-Ctrl-K ( that is for KDE ) the
following message is displayed from the wine to the tty that is typed the
wine command:
fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_ActivateKeyboardLayout 0x4090409, 0000: semi-stub!
and the none of keys will type anything except one of them ( D letter or
key) . And by pressing D key for the first time the following message is
displayed following the above mentioned message:
fixme:bidi:mirror stub: mirroring of characters not yet implemented

can anyone help me ?
 thanks
