[GNC] Stock account. Entering transacction.

Vicente,

There are not different ‘versions’ of the code for each language. Everyone is using the same app. (that is, on the same OS, in your case, Windows, and even then, all versions of Windows use the same app)

When you select a language, the text and other ‘words’ in the user interface are translated based on a translation file. There could be translation errors, or missing translations. (which will usually result in English being used for those parts) But unless I’m misunderstanding how translations work, a translation error or missing translation should not result in missing data entry fields or UI text entirely.

Someone more familiar with the Spanish version (and the language) might be able to help.

In addition, version 3.8 is the most recent. You will find less bugs using 3.8 instead of 3.5.

Regards,
Adrien
