KMyMoney uses the KDE settings. Change the decimal settings for KDE and it
should be ok.

Anyway, does "LANG=es_ES.UTF-8" has no effect on KDE? If I change this value, the character encoding changes in kMyMoney, but the decimal symbol is always the same.

That will only change the translations used, but most settings are taken
from KDE Global settings.

Try running "kcmshell language" in a terminal. I use KDE, so I cannot point
you to the right place to do that. However, until you change that, the
decimal symbol will remain the same.

Thanks, but "kcmshell language" does nothing.

Are you sure that "LANG" only change the translations used? Then why kMyMoney changes the encoding if I change that value? If I set "LANG=es_ES", it uses ISO-88599-1, but if I set "LANG=es_ES.UTF-8", it uses UTF8.
Why it changes the encoding but no the numeric decimal symbol?

Believe me, I'm a developer of KMyMoney, not part of the Bugsquad.

Oh!! Ok, then... If you are a developer of kMyMoney there's no discussion!! ;-)
Well, I will change this "false bug" in a question to know how I can change it from Gnome.
Thanks
