Default account structure for different locales

[Ngewi Fet]

Oh that's a bummer. :(
I want to have the GUIDS and in addition, the import functionality
currently built into the app handles only actual Gnucash account structure
files.

That means I need people to actually export the Gnucash account files and
send to me after all. Right? Gnucash seems locked down to my computer
locale, so I cannot generate all the files myself for different locales.

Would everyone be so kind as to do this (as described in the first mail in
this thread) and send me the file together with your country and language?

Please I need the files to be in the actual locale language and currency,
so if, for example, you are in Germany and using Gnucash in English then
you don't need to send it.

Thanks!
