I was referring to the linux locale.

The win32 application and the wine explorer have no problem showing the correct
file name. The problem only arises when it is passed back out of wine to the
linux application that is meant to open it. That suggests that it arises at the
interface between wine and the OS.

I don't want my computer to talk German to me. And as I said: I tried and it
makes no difference whether the locale is en_US.UTF-8 or de_DE.UTF-8. As you
would expect, since date/time/currency formats and so on are not involved.
