This is really a bug, I think.  It shouldn't be looking up existing 
trading accounts by name so that the localized name doesn't matter. 
Were you running version 2.4.0 in English?  I don't think this changed 
between 2.4.0 and 2.4.7.

How you change the language depends on what system you are using.  Are 
you using Windows?  If so I'll defer to someone who knows how Windows 
works.

Do you want to run it in English?  If not you probably can move the 
transactions from the existing Trading accounts to the new Comercial 
accounts, although I would make sure I had a good backup before trying 
this.  If you delete the Trading accounts it should ask you where to 
move the transactions and you can tell it to move them to the 
corresponding Comercial account.  Or if you want to use English you 
could do the reverse move.
