I meant importing the file generated by Mobile into Gnucash on my 
desktop (to check that it's valid).

Ok, that's what I expected. But I can't find how to change the device's 
locale. It looks like I need to install an app (e.g. 
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bruce.setlocale&hl=en) 
to change it which seems very strange.
