Set the "LANG" environment variable:
  LANG=en_US gnucash

Sorry, Gnucash is a Gnome app -- it wont be integrated into KDE.
The printing problem you see, however, should hopefully be corrected
in the next release; I think it's a bad interaction of gtkhtml and
gnome-print...  But it's all g1 support libraries; the move to
g2 should hopefully correct it.
