I'm using wine emulator on linux (SliTaz 4.0) and i want to change the wine locale so that the dialogs and messages are displayed in Japanese.

I found this tool http://code.google.com/p/winelocale/ which seems to do the job but I couldn't find a download link anywhere and could not contact the author, so does anybody know how to do that please?

I am not actually certain if this tool (WINELocale) will actually work, so I am open to any suggestions to change the locale of WINE to Japanese.

Thanks
