> Language and locale are separate. Currency, numeric separators, time
formats, etc. are locale settings. If you launch GnuCash from the
command line you can set the locale for it with e.g. LANG=de_DE
gnucash. If you use a desktop icon it's easier to set it in
/usr/share/etc/gnucash/environment. It's about halfway down and says #
LANG = nl_BE. Remove the # and set it to your locale of choice. If you
want the same language just uncomment the following line. If you want a
different language, uncomment the following line and replace {LANG}
with a comma-separated list of two-letter language codes in order of
preference, e.g. fr,de,en.

Many thanks for all the tips. Got everything working now!
Sqlite driver was missing.
I switched my system locale to en_IE as it seems to be the only one
matching my settings, without the need to mix different locales for
language, currency, date format, etc. In Yast, "Language" is the name
for all the related settings even though it shows way less detail than
running "locale".
So it seems that the additional columns in the Accounts window are
always using the locale currency. At least on linux.
I was expecting this would be the default currency from the settings.
Do you have any opinion on this? Should I file it as a bug? I mean, my
original problem is solved and it is likely not affecting too many
people out there so it might as well pass.
My gnucash package is v3.0.-1.1.
And, no, the .config/gnucash is definitely not there but obviously the
config files are located somewhere.
The .register-cursor row is almost unusable with a dark theme as the
text remains black (and gets a dark background from the theme) so I'll
look around for the settings folder in order to modify the text color
to something lighter.
Cheers
