However, when I install gnucash the program runs in German (perhaps because I live in Switzerland and the program recognizes where I'm based somehow). The difficulty is that I don't understand German, so I either can't use the program as is and also don't know how to switch the program to English. I saw in online help that I could change it in the gnucash.cmd file in my bin folder, but there is no gnucash.cmd file there. I'm guessing that somewhere in the menus I should be able to find an options panel (if I could read German) that will allow me to switch to English. Can you help me with this?

Just create a gnucash.cmd file, following the instructions in the wiki. 

BTW, you're computer's clock is off by about 18 months.
