It isn't a functional change so if done safely there's a chance probably.

You need to install locales and set LC_LANG to ru_RU.UTF-8 for example.

It should be a single patch I think. Otherwise it will break other 
languages layout.

Personally I like it. A thing that bothers me is a link control. I'm not 
sure how good integration works for
current releases, and what will happen exactly - native browser or 
Wine's one with a lack of all UI elements. Also
gecko package should be installed if a builtin iexplore is about to be used.

Now about layout - if you want to stress a Wine word then version info 
should go under it. I will be nice to have
a years range too here I think. A license note could go down a bit to 
end on low bound of a white area, also it makes sense
to make it wider to use blank area at right.
