Language change mystery mysteriously solved

[Geert Janssens]

The Accounts tab is protected to avoid confusion if people accidentally try to 
close it.

I had figured out a complicated way to work around this, and then thought of 
another by editing yet another file. I'll spare you the details.

Here's the easiest solution:
Click on the accounts/cuentas tab and then select View->Rename page.
You can then give the page any name you like. If you rename it to "Accounts" 
it's back at the Gnucash default in English.

Regards,

Geert
