solution: wine and hebrew input

[Erez D]

hi

i saw some time ago people writing that one can not enter hebrew in IE4LINUX
here is how is solved my hebrew input problems under wine:


first, LANG=he_IL.utf8 is not enough
LC_ALL must be also be set to he_IL.utf8 (otherwise you get '?' instead of
letters)
to be sure, do the following:

export LANG=he_IL.utf8
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8
export LC_NUMERIC=he_IL.utf8
export LC_TIME=en_US.utf8
export LC_COLLATE=he_IL.utf8
export LC_MONETARY=he_IL.utf8
export LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8
export LC_PAPER=he_IL.utf8
export LC_NAME=he_IL.utf8
export LC_ADDRESS=he_IL.utf8
export LC_TELEPHONE=he_IL.utf8
export LC_MEASUREMENT=he_IL.utf8
export LC_IDENTIFICATION=he_IL.utf8
export LC_ALL=he_IL.utf8


another issue is that one gets no input at all (not even '?') when typing
hebrew
if this is a 64bit OS (like mine), see to it that you have /usr/lib32/locale
if you dont, which is probably the case, do:
'ln -s /usr/lib/locale /usr/lib32/'

now i have working hebrew input under wine.
