Since Crossover sets its internal locale based on the locale of the system
it runs on, just simple

LANG=ru_RU ~/cxoffice/bin/wine --wl-app notepad

should do the trick. Replace ru_RU with the locale you are interested in.

Each bottle has its own cxbottle.conf. Just add 'LANG=ru_RU' under
[EnvironmentVariables] section of cxbottle.conf.

Thanks.
