Note that the current configuration of the View's columns will control what data will be exported and . The export will contain only the displayed column data (in the same order of exported columns) and be limited to records matching any [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters|filters]] you have applied.

Gramps has been translated into a number of [[Portal:Translators|languages]]. Usually Gramps automatically starts in your local language, as chosen for other applications, but sometimes this may not be right for you. And in other cases, a module or addon will not yet have been translated and a warning dialog will appear saying something like &ldquo;Warning: plugin XYZ has no translation for any of your configured languages, using US English instead&rdquo;. (Note that the US dialect of English is the default rather than British.) This can become annoying or intrusive.  The most idealistic situation is that you are as facile in US English as the language selected for the operating system GUI on your computer. And that you would take the opportunity to translate that Gramps feature for users who are non-English speakers.  If your system is configured to show a language other then English, you can override this for Gramps.  As an example, assume that a computer in the Netherlands is configured to default to Unicode 8 Dutch: "LANG: nl_NL.UTF-8". You could either reset the OS language  In Windows, use the SET command to rest the LAN env variable to "en_GB.UTF-8" for British English. You can do this from the command line interface or [https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=11009 create a startup shortcut with the following Target]:<code>C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "SET LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 && START /D ^"C:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.1.3^" gramps.exe"</code>
