Fwd: Currency definition fpr account missing

[Hajo Hindriks]

Setting the lang=en_US in the environment file as documented in

http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Locale_Settings#GnuCash_2.4.0_or_newer_2

solved the issues that I had - seems definetly to be a local specific 
issue, maybe Win 10 specific.

regards, Hajo
