There's no such thing as English or French versions of GnuCash, every installation on Windows and macOS includes all of the translations. Some Linux distros try to save a few kB of space by separating out the translations, but that's not your concern. What you want to do is make a shortcut to GnuCash with the LANG environment variable set to "fr_FR" as explained by this blog post: https://netlicensing.io/blog/2012/06/15/set-environment-variables-in-windows -shortcut/ Regards, John Ralls _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
