This should be answered by someone more qualified, but it makes sense to
me ;)

Maybe we should rename en.po?

Yep, I'm on the CC list for that, but could not reproduce until now. I
had an idea that I just checked, and bingo:

LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 ./wine control

seems to work fine (everything in English), but if I replace fr_FR with
my system's locale eg:

LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 ./wine control

I get a mixed English/German GUI. Will add a comment to the bug.

Best regards,
