[GNC] GnuCash Language

You're making fun of me. Nice :))

Since we've been around for so long, you might remember from when I started translating GC I never liked GitHub or really understood git. This page is a lot more friendly. Thanks, I saved it as bookmark.

This is now working, it installs in a folder with accents and runs in Portuguese. dbd folder is there with all files. The only thing I noticed is that the installer is pointing to Brazilian again. I guess you reverted back to the current one. Not a problem.

Thank you for all this John.
