I thought as a wild stab in the dark, (even though it was empty) I would copy /usr/share/fonts/TTF/Vera.ttf to .wine/fake_windows/Windows/Fonts/ and guess what? Now all my apps start in english!! although I don't really know what strange wine font search order was causing the original behaviour...
In your ~/.wine/config, there should be lines something along these:
; the TrueType font dirs you want to make accessible to wine [FontDirs] "dir1" = "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype" "dir2" = "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType" "dir3" = "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TT"
Originally these were all commented out, I uncommented them (this is a SuSE system, that's why the paths are not "normal"), and so I did not have to copy Windows fonts to the Wine folder for that purpose (although that works as well). Basically, Wine does not search other folders than its own for fonts unless you tell it to (and what folders to search).
Hope this helps for the future.
