How to run gnucash in a different language?

[Nico De Ranter]

Hi,

I'm interested in using gnucash but I'd like to get the interface in
Dutch since I don't understand the English terminology. I've noticed on
the gnucash homepage that there is support for a lot of languages but I
can't figure out how to switch to a specific language. I tried 'export
LANG=nl; gnucash' but that doesn't make any difference at all. I'm sure
there must be an easy way to do this but I couldn't find anything in the
archives. Any ideas how to set the interface language?

Note: I'm using Gnucash 1.8.9 on Debian 3.1.

Thanks in advance,

Nico
