One of the features I like the most is it can handle multiple currencies. Book keeping for my family business has become a lot easier. I have told many people in a country of Laos about GnuCash. Many people would love to use GnuCash if it supports Lao or Laotian language. When they typed Lao language in GnuCash, they only saw question mark. Will you be able to add Lao in as one of supported languages. If there is anything I can do to have it added in please let me know.

I see there 2 different issues:

1. Configure your computer to use fonts, which contain the laotian alphabet.
While most fonts have latin characters, but only few have the
different alphabets common in Asia implemented.
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Locale_Settings contains what we know
about such issues.

2. provide a lo.po message file
If you are interested to do some translation, see
