Bug 13831 – GnuCash french locale seems buggy

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexandre Snaps 2003-01-13 03:37:47 UTC]

I just emerged GnuCash.
While I mainly use linux in English, I decided to run gnucash in French, which
is my mother tongue.
After export'ing LANG=fr_FR (with and without EURO support doesn't seems to
change the following behavior) and running the Druid to start my new file, when
at the "Choose accounts to create" screen I get the following error and all
choices are empty:

Created attachment 7255 [details]
New account xml files fixing the problem above

Simply bunzip and untar this in your root dir (/) and it'll replace the account
xml files for the fr_FR locale, fixing:
- acctchrt_spouseretire.gnucash-xea:82: error: Opening and ending tag mismatch:
act:description and gnc:account
</gnc:account>
- acctchrt_common.gnucash-xea:86: error: Opening and ending tag mismatch:
act:description and gnc:account
</gnc:account>

I've also added encoding to iso-8859-1 (which might not have been necessary,
but xmllint seemed to complain when lesft to default UTF-8)

It seems the translator did speak french but not XML,
I think I fixed it... Will submit to gnucash.org too!
