So far everything I've tried with Wine is working ok (latest RPM 04192005 for fedora 3), however, if I change the locale so I can see chinese words, wine becomes unbearably slow. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to keep the local settings for the user to English, and just have the wine settings to chinese?

I've been searching on this forum, and found that people can type chinese in an english setting by changing the locale to UTF-8. Currently my locale settings are:

"en_US.UTF-8" however I can't type chinese unless I specifically change my language settings to "ZH", or simple chinese at the login screen.

while in "en_US.utf-8" if I type xcin it says:

xcin: locale "en_US.UTF-8" encoding "utf-8"
Xcin: error: /etc/chinese/xcin/xcinrc:
locale section "en_US.UTF-8": DEFAULT_IM: value not specified.

I opened xcinrc but couldn't find a en_us.utf-8, If I add a section for this, what values should I change?

also when I type chinput, it says:
Can't open input method service:
input method name: chinput
transport address: X/
Chinese input Server is already activated.

but then I still can't type chinese while using english menus.

How to fix this?

ok, i've changed the zh_TW.UTF-8 section to be en_US.UTF-8 in the xcinrc file. Since I wanted to use the zh_CN.GB2312 settings, I copied and pasted those into this area.

but now I get the following error:

xcin: Locale "en_US.UTF-8" encoding "utf-8"
xcin: error: /etc/chinese/xcin/xcinrc
IM section "pinyin" SETKEY: value not specified.

I'm not sure why this error appears, I've changed all the zh_TW.UTF-8 to en_US.UTF-8 in this section. Any help?

(the same error appears when I don't copy and paste the zh.CN settings, but instead of "pinyin" it says "zh_hex")
