[GNC] The locale defined in the environment isn't supported.

[Mark Neugebauer]

I was able to sort this out. The relevant steps for me was:

sudo flatpak install flathub org.gnucash.GnuCash

sudo flatpak override --env "LANG=de_DE" --env "LANGUAGE=de_DE" 
org.gnucash.GnuCash

sudo flatpak update --subpath=de org.gnome.Platform.Locale

sudo flatpak update --subpath=de org.gnucash.GnuCash.Locale

flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash


That said, both Platform.Locale and GnuCash.Locale had to be updated. I 
think this makes some for someone with a deeper understanding of Flatpaks.


Best regards, Mark
