HomeBank

How to change language?

Asked by ian_ep

I am an english native living in Denmark. My financial transactions are in DKK but I prefer to use Windows - and Homebank - with an english interface. My Homebank seems to have installed itself with the (unfinished) danish interface.

My question is then, how do I change the interface language of Homebank? I don't see any entry in preferences ...

There is no user preference for that. HomeBank normally adapt to the user language automatically.
I f you want to revert to english, then move to C:\Program Files\HomeBank\share\locale and remove the directory corresponding to Denmark.

Ah! OK, thank you.

Perhaps Homebank should ask when installing what language the user wants. Or
make it a preference.

Incedentally, my operating system is the English version, system locale is
UK English. Only keyboard and currency settings are set to Danish. I would
not say it is a safe assumption that I would want Danish language ...

I have similar problem:
My locale is Latvian (and i cannot change it because of other applications) but preferred language is Russian.

Steps to enable Russian:
1) Go to Program Files\HomeBank\share\locale\
2) Rename 'ru' folder to 'lv'
3) Start application!

The same thing for other languages.
Instead of 'ru' (Russian) use desired language and instead of 'lv' (Latvian) you current system locale (Control Panel -> Regional Settings -> Current format)

Hello,

I would like to know how I can do this on linux. I'm working on a debian-like linux (ubuntu) and my default locale is english. But I would like to have homebank in french. Where do I need to go to modify my locale? I saw homebank installed in /usr/local/share/homebank and a lot of locales installed in /usr/local/share/locale but I don't know how to make it select the good one.

Thanks in advance

Please don't reopen solved question, this is a good way for anybody to reply.

For Linux, you can launch homebank the folowwing way to change language, but only from a console:

for example in fench : LANGUAGE='fr_FR:fr' ./src/homebank

or in russian: LANGUAGE='ru' ./src/homebank

Hello,
unfortunatelly the above doesn't work for me. I have Win 7, locale Czech. The preferred language is Czech as well but HomeBank is still in English only. I have even deleted all other directories in HomeBank\share\locale\ and only cs directory left.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi Maxime, thank you for the soft.

Is it possible to launch homebank under Ubuntu lucid with different language without a console?

Thanks!

For everyone on Win7 with problems on the languages, just delete all locals, except the folder of the language of choice. Then rename that folder to "en". Restart application --> Language should now be language of choice.

Btw, this is an excellent application, really love this!

When I do in the terminal LANGUAGE= 'ru'. / src/homebank
the terminal responds to me
bash: . / src/homebank: No such file or directory
I do not know where this fucking program was installed, I did not find its locale files! Changing the language through the settings does not work. This is another school craft from googleplay, it's unworthy of support!
