That would not help. The language you choose in the installer is only 
for the installer. On Windows, for now it's only possible to change the 
default language gnucash uses by changing the environment file.

But perhaps this would make for a good enhancement for a future gnucash 
release: make the language chosen in the installer the default language 
for the installed gnucash.
