Want to use GnuCash in Spanish

[barr0200 at umn.edu]

Derek, thank you for your reply.

My use of 2.2.0 is due to a bug I (and apparently others too) have with 
some of the later versions of Gnucash, including 2.2.9.... Basically, when 
I open gnucash, the DOS command prompt window appears with the following 
message:

chcp 1252

And then nothing else happens... ever! You can see the original bug report 
and other comments (along with mine) in the page for "Bug 497686 - Hands at 
startup with "chcp 1252" in DOS window":

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=497686

So, I am working with 2.2.0 out of necessity.

That being said, and since I cannot wait for the above bug to be fixed 
before continuing my use of Gnucash, I wonder whether there is a way of 
having version 2.2.0 in Spanish.

I did try the suggestions in FAQ with version 2.2.0 and they didn't work.

Thanks again,

Julio.
