Hi, How can I change the language used for the UI of GNUCash? I have Windows in English, but my regional settings and location are Spanish based, but I want the UI in English as most of other apps. Couldn't find it in the preferences. Thanks! Esteban A. Maringolo __

Thanks John. It confirms my fears, but it's good to know. Yes, I know well about truncated fiscal years; but if an entity is worth its salt, the short years are very few in comparison with the many years of healthily ticking over. And the start and end years always have a bunch of other special re

I'm afraid I can't agree. Although what you say is true, it's needlessly bleak in laying out the possible approaches. Take Quicken, for example: every file (set of books) has the fiscal year as a property (defaulting to Jan 1 - Dec 31, but changeable). Every report has a date selection (like Gn

Am I correct that every time I open a set of books with a different fiscal year, I have to go into Preferences to change the accounting period? If I don't do this, all the reports use the wrong start and end dates. But THIS "problem" is separate from "accounting period". Reports that require
