Is Quickbase usable for non-US businesses ?
Dear QB community, I am evaluating Quickbase for a french speaking organization. I understand that Quickbase only have english menus, does only supports dollards as currency sign and US date form...

I work for a company that has many 'sister companies' of which the users are ether English (UK) or English (US) but not a mixture in the same company.
The applications which I use solely for my UK Users, I have found that while you can change the Currency symbol (to a � or anything really) it does not export as a � but as a dollar - this is a bug which I have reported. I tend to use Numeric Fields and in the label put the currency code.
In regards to dates, it does use the American format but again for my UK users, I have it set so that the date displays as "Jul-22-2013" which gets round the issue easily.
I don't really have any experience with the accents in letters so can't comment there.
So in short, yeah it has some pitful (No idea why you can't TRUELY change the date format for example) but I work around them as the design and customisable side of Quickbase over shadows the other not so good bits around international compatibility.
