Description of problem: GnuCash has some Problems with UTF-8 which make it useless. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnucash-1.8.9-2 Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 (this is the default for a german installation) $ gnucash 2. Create a new file. Use the wizard to create some accounts (choose "Allgemeine Konten") 3. When wizard is finished, look at the Accounts Actual results: e.g.: "Aufwendungen/Bildung/B" instead of "Büro" "Aktiva/Barvermgen" instead of "Barvermögen" Trying to rename this account (CTRL-E) will show an empty window. The accounts can not be used. Additional info: Everything seems to be fine with LANG=de_DE
