Unfortunately the reports are translated into the same language as the
UI and there is no way to do otherwise.  In order to change the language
for a report you will need to re-run GnuCash in that other language and
create/print the report.  Note that you can set up the report in your
primary language, leave the report it open, and then exit and re-run
gnucash in the other language just to print the report with the correct
translation.  Just be sure to print the report before reverting back to
your normal language.

Alas, that's the only way to do it right now.
