I can reproduce the bug.

The problem is that the application only support the following locales:

English, Italian, French, German, Spanish.

Looking into the sources, it seems that wxMaxima choose English as
default locale. This should be changed to C or POSIX.

This can be modified in the ~/.wxMaxima config file, setting
the "language" parameter

I will make a patch for this and notify wxMaxima author.

In the meantime, the simpler way to fix the problem is to add en_GB to
the list of your locales. You can do this easily with the command
"dpkg-reconfigure locales".

The other option is that someone add localization for finnish....

Thanks for your report.

Regards

Marco
