    Thanks, team. Your hard work is much appreciated!

    I backed up my database, the exported it as a ged file so I have 2 copies of my database. When I installed this version, over half of my places data is reported as unknown with no information. Is there a way to fix this issue so that the information is imported properly?

    Oh, I forgot to mention that I installed the Windows 64 bit version.

    I have recently downloaded Windows 10 and then discovered Gramps. Have looked in vain for notes on compatibility. Can anyone advise me please. I am aiming to set up a reliable method of keeping my family tree and records

    Just retired and looking forward to discovery. This looks like a superb program for documenting what I discover and being able to analyze and display results. Thank you

    I used to run Family Tree Maker on Windows. After redoing my database for a third time I switched to Linux based O/S and used Gramps. That was in 1991

    I am looking for a software that I can enter in English and translate into another language? Can Gramps take my file and do this so I can export or make charts in a language such as Serbian. I see Serbian is listed as a possible translation but is this module plugged in and is it possible what I am explaining. I work in several countries exchanging info throughout the world and looking for the best program that might achieve my goal

    Serbian translation is complete for 89% since gramps 4.2 branch. So, most labels and main strings have been translated. See also bug report #2375. Gramps will let you select one language for your reports. Interface could be in English (e.g., your current locale) and generated reports in Serbian. Maybe some minor issues around relationships handler for Serbian, where one section seems outdated. It needs a review. Any help and tests are welcome.
