Problem fixed. I thought I’d share with the list in case the problem happens
to someone else.
I installed GnuCash short after upgrading from OSX 10.9 to 10.13. Gnucash uses
period as decimal separator, while here in French Canada decimal separator
should be comma.
After asking the list I saw
Yves,
And just for completeness I added a line to read NSLocaleDecimalSeparator and
then examined it in the debugger. It's '.', consistent with the locale being
en_CA instead of fr_CA.

I don't know about Macs, but the POSIX locale categories for this are
LC_MONETARY for how monetary quantities are shown, and LC_NUMERIC for
other numbers, defining decimal and thousands seperators among other
things. See locale(5).

Yves,
No, unfortunately querying NSLocaleDecimalSeparator and friends won’t help.
GnuCash depends at least partly on libc functions like printf (and their C++
equivalents) for formatting, and those functions in turn depend on a locale
being set in the environment. They use that locale to retri
Hi John,
Running from the terminal I still get period. In the terminal I got
the following trace.

I tested this a bit in the debugger and I with French as the primary language
and Canada as the country [currentlocale objectForKey: NSLocaleLanguageCode]
insists that the code in en, not French. If I tell System Prefs I'm in France
it gets the right answer, so it might be an Apple bug.
Unfort
If you run GnuCash from a Terminal prompt do you get the right separator?

System Preferences/Language and Region says Region = Canada and language =
french. Advanced shows decimal separator is comma and thousands separator is
space. (These are default values for French Canada).
Environment variable LANG=fr_CA.UTF_8
OpenOffice correctly uses comma as decimal separator
Maybe in Quebec it is a comma. In the rest of the country it is a period.
There should be a different locale for fr-canada than for en-canada. I don’t
know what else would differ across locales though.

I’m new to GnuCash and just installed GnuCash 3.2 on Mac. OS X 10.13
Gnucash uses the period as decimal separator instead of my locale’s
separator. Here in Canada it should be comma.
Should Gnucash use the decimal separator of my locale, or is it always
period ? Is there a way to c
