Please CC: the list on all replies (I'm still learning too!).

OK, I've just tried this in CVS HEAD and Debian unstable:

neil at garfield:~$ export LANGUAGE=fr_FR
neil at garfield:~$ export LANG=fr_FR
neil at garfield:~$ /opt/gnucash/local/bin/gnucash

and

neil at garfield:~$ export env LANGUAGE=fr_FR
neil at garfield:~$ export env LANG=fr_FR
neil at garfield:~$ /opt/gnucash/local/bin/gnucash

I get this in the output from $ set
LANG=fr_FR
LANGUAGE=fr_FR

Yet GnuCash doesn't change the language settings in either case.

Is this a bug are are Nico and I doing something wrong?
