Translations of GNUCash into Konkani Language

[Jeff Earickson]

John,

Per your input, I have renamed the two files (for the moment)
"kok at devanagari.po" and "kok at latin.po".  After poking around in
/usr/share/locale on various systems for clarification and googling, maybe
"kok at devanagari.po" should simply be "kok.po" -- the language in its
commonly used alphabet.

I am still puzzling over how to get gnucash to run.  I converted my Mac
into Spanish via System Preferences->Language/Region and had no problems
with gnucash in Spanish.  No fiddling with LANG/LANGUAGE/LC variables.  Muy
bien.  I then selected Konkani as my primary language on my Mac (not much
changed except for dates and times).  No go with gnucash.  I stared at
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Locale_Settings and I am still experimenting.
