I found out the following:

    -  if I set (in (K)ubuntu 8.04) the default language say to german,
       I have to logout/login and then gnucash starts with german, so
       far so good

    -  I can also do env LANG=en gnucash and it starts in english.

    -  However this is the only language I can start this way!!!1

    -  Having also installed spanish I cannot do
       env LANG=es gnucash
       or
       env LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 gnucash

       it does not work.

    -  I can set spanish as default language and start gnucash in
       english but not in german etc etc.

The 2 observation.



    - Once I have started in a different language, the menus have
      changed and every new account I open will use this new language.

    -  however the old account keeps the language in which once
       it was created. This I find *inconvenient*.


Any idea why I can start gnucash from the commandline only in english???
