Hi John, Running from the terminal I still get period. In the terminal I got the following trace. (process:1976): gnc.gui-WARNING **: 18:35:55.003: [mac_set_languages()] Language list: en:fr_CA:en_CA:C I just downloaded the sources from GitHub, and looked at [mac_set_languages()]. Foundation offers global variables NsLocaleDecimalSeparator, NSLocaleGroupingSeparator and NSLocaleCurrencySymbol, among others. These variables would bring directly the values mac_set_languages() is trying to get. Furthermore, if a user changes the decimal separator in the Advanced panel of the Language and Region system preferences, gnu cash would get the expected separator instead of the locale’s default separator. Is it something that could be changed without breaking a lot of things in the app ? Please don’t hesitate to tell me if I’m completely wrong… Thanks, Yves

If I tell System Prefs I'm in France it gets the right answer, so it might be an Apple bug. Unfortunately setting LANG in the environment, though it will set the interface language, doesn't seem to change the number display, so there doesn't seem to be a way to force it at present.

Advanced shows decimal separator is comma and thousands separator is space. (These are default values for French Canada). Environment variable LANG=fr_CA.UTF_8 OpenOffice correctly uses comma as decimal separator. Is Gnucash supposed to use the parameters from the locale ? Is there a way to force it ?

There should be a different locale for fr-canada than for en-canada. I don’t know what else would differ across locales though.

OS X 10.13 Gnucash uses the period as decimal separator instead of my locale’s separator. Here in Canada it should be comma. Should Gnucash use the decimal separator of my locale, or is it always period ? Is there a way to configure it within GnuCash ?
