On distributions other than your current one, which don't have a easy 
configureation system, you can configure Wine to display Japanese by 
using the LC_ALL enviroment variable. In the United States, set it to 
ja_US, and in Japan, set it to ja_JP.  The reason for the localion 
difference is because programs compensate for the different dialects of 
a language across different nations (think en_US and en_GB, one for the 
US and one for England.)
