Of course you can.

man 3 setenv

But more seriously, isn't the issue not the language the UI appears in,
but what input method is being used, and that choice is down to X11 I
think, not WINE. Certainly, adding a Thai keyboard layout to GNOME
(System --> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts), and setting a key to
switch between the layouts (defaults to both alt keys IIRC) worked to
enter 'some sort of unicode' into notepad running under wine. I have no
East Asian fonts installed here (certainly not under wine), so that
would explain the missing characters - they appeared simply as the
windows "character I don't have glyphs for" glyph. YMMV.
