Your sv_FI locale is unknown to Python, even though it may be
supported by your C library.

We had similar issues with other locales, details are here:
   http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=3D11314098
   http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=3D10482895

In short, you need to modify your /usr/lib/python2.3/locale.py
file by adding the following lines to "locale_alias" dict:
=20
   locale_alias =3D {....
      .......
      "sv_fi":	"sv_FI.ISO8859-1",
     ....
     ....
   }
=20
The "....." represent already existing entries and should not
be entered. The order of the lines does not matter, may as well
add to the bottom of the dictionary.

Let me know if this works for you,
Alex

P.S. If this fix works, you will be able to generate reports.
However, I'm not sure whether you're seeing translated strings
in your interface. I'm also not familiar with sv_FI locale.
Is it Swedish as spoken in Finland? In any case, if this is
different from Swedish and from Finnish and you would like
to translate gramps into sv_FI, please let me know, it's not
that hard.
