GnuCash uses your computer's locale to choose what language environment
to display to you.  This is normally considered a feature, because generally
people want a program to honor your local system locale.

If you want to run it in different locale, as if you were in the US locale,
then you need to set that in the environment when you run gnucash.  For
example, to run it in a US-English UTF8 environment you could do:

  env LANG=en_US.UTF8 gnucash &
