04:50:47 <sicelo> i am on a very limited Internet connection for now, so unable to look at the source, but i would like to point out that for the SZL currency, the one-character symbol should be "E", not "L"
04:58:53 <sicelo> wikipedia is wrong that L1 is a correct way to write out the currency. we always write E1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swazi_lilangeni

07:55:43 <warlord> sicelo, could you file a bug report in bugzilla, please? bugs.gnucash.org
08:13:55 <sicelo> i will, when i'm on a better connection

08:43:47 <sicelo> i will be setting up a small business, and thanks all you guys for gnucash. hope it will work well for me
08:43:50 <sicelo> :)

08:52:16 <fell> sicelo: we are still missing swazi localization. If you have some spare time or know somebody, have a look at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation.
08:52:24 <warlord> sicelo, good luck with your business!
09:05:58 <sicelo> thanks warlord. i need a lot of it
09:06:47 <sicelo> fell: i could look at doing it myself (if i can find time) ... i wonder how many Swati users of gnucash though :)
09:08:15 <sicelo> i will also look at the documentation. i was reading through it yesterday and noticed some odd sentences here and there (in English)

09:10:06 *** fabior has joined #gnucash
09:10:53 <fell> That was probably me. as non native speaker. ;-)
09:11:47 <sicelo> i'm not much better myself. but that's the only way i guess i can contribute meaningfuly ;)
09:12:42 <fell> About the language: Bantu would reach a wider audience than Swazi.
09:13:26 <sicelo> what's bantu? :)
09:13:39 <sicelo> Zulu maybe?
09:16:30 <fell> Forget Bantu. It is a level of classification like Romanic for fr, es, it, ...
09:16:59 <sicelo> ok
09:28:37 *** jervin has quit IRC
09:42:46 *** rdffe32 has joined #gnucash
09:46:18 <rdffe32> Hello. is there a problem in using arbitrary prefixes when settings the IDs of things? Like for example using PID32212 for a customer that has a personal id number 32212 and another customer having CID8829002-3 for a company with that company id number? And is there a simpler way to not mix them?
09:47:11 <warlord> The customer ID is up to you. But if you enter them by hand, there is no way to guarantee they are unique. Gnucash does not enforce uniqueness.
09:47:50 <rdffe32> do bad things happen if the ids aren't unique?
09:48:27 <warlord> No. It's just a user-search parameter. Internally gnucash uses unique GUIDs to identify them. So worst case YOU might get confused.
09:48:30 <rdffe32> also, does the same thing applies to other ids? CAn i use a prefix to identify if a payment was made by check, wire transfer, etc?
09:48:54 <warlord> Yes, those are all generic strings.
09:49:45 <warlord> Note that for the Num column, when used for ordering, gets ordered as a numeric. So 1234 will come before 1235.. But B1234 and A1235 will be considered "the same" for ordering processes.
09:51:55 <rdffe32> Ok, thanks. And is doing this a good idea or is there a better solution you know of?
09:53:09 <warlord> It's all up to you.
09:54:02 <rdffe32> ok then, thanks
