I have Japanese setup because that is the second language I am studying.

But Grisbi is choosing Japanese instead of English.

How do I tell Grisbi what language it should use?

Why would grisbi select English if your setup is Japanese?

From a Terminal window do:
LANG=C open /Applications/Grisbi.app

I found
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/245/is-it-possible-to-launch-a-program-in-a-specific-language
but Grisbi does not support the -AppleLanguages option.

However, grisbi starting on the console shows

LANG = en_AU.UTF-8

and the buttons are in English.

But, clicking on the Application in the launcher starts the application in
Japanese.

While the -AppleLanguages option doesn't work, writing the value does.

$ defaults write org.grisbi.Grisbi AppleLanguages '("en-AU")'

solved my problem.
