How you can produce reports in a language different from the language you installed your operating system in.
LC_ALL=nl_BE.UTF-8 LANGUAGE="sv" python3 gramps
Gramps '''requires''' an UTF-8 locale to work correctly in most cases.
GRAMPSI18N=/home/me/gramps/mo LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 LANG="sv" python3 gramps
Alternatively , you can add a new item to the menu of GNOME or KDE, so this command needs not to be entered in a terminal, but can be called from the menu.

*Click on <code>'Office'</code>
*Click on <code>'New Item'</code>, Enter <code>'Gramps Genealogy System (nl)'</code>

SET LANG=nl_BE.UTF-8
This can be saved to a .bat file for easy execution.

For the above to work, you must have the needed locales installed. This will be distribution specific. Add to this wiki if you know how to do this in a distribution not listed.
Execute
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
and select from the choices given the locales you need. Using UTF8 is advised, eg for ''nl_BE'': choose ''nl_BE.UTF-8''
== Run the report==
