Locale issues on OSX

> It's a wrapper around GtkCalendar which uses strftime, which in turn uses LC_TIME. The catch in your case is that it requires a locale defined in /usr/share/locale, and en_CH isn't one of them, so GnuCash goes looking for something that will work, starting with the country. It apparently finds fr_CH first.

Incidentally, Apple's Swiss POSIX locales that has the separator as . instead of ' in LC_MONETARY; they have ' ' (space) as the separator in LC_NUMERIC.

Thank you, John!  This was very helpful.
