Im not sure if this is the best answer but you have two choices
Change the locale of Microsoft Windows to English. Abiword is just
trying to match everthing else.
Alternatively
close abiword, find a file called Abiword.Profile (in the Application
Data folder usually).
This file contains settings for abiword.
READ THIS VERY VERY VERY CAREFULLY:
There are instructions inside Abiword.Profile, read them.
Abiword.Profile contains more than one settings/preferences profile you
need to be absolutely sure you have edited the correct one, usually the
_custom_ scheme.
Change all occurances of de-CH to en-US
It is a bit messy, but the developers did not expect people to want to use
abiword in a langauge different to their current locale.
Hope that helps
Sincerly
Alan
