I don't know much about wine extensions. I just wonder why wine needs such
things. In the past there were problems when wine didn't behave like windows
and these extensions are problematic too.

I have to apologize, because my lack of knowledge in this regard,
but there are multilingual versions of Windows too. Why not do
it like Microsoft does? Is this possible?
