Sorry for my ignorance of translation related stuff here, but my
impression was that the help index file that Jon wants changed isn't
used by anything other than the help browser in GnuCash and with that
bit is only used to display help topics. If what he is adding is making
a change to something only the docs would use and its not used unless
there is already an equivalent doc in the language to be translated
would this not mean that the translation work to do this isn't that
great? AFAIK there is only a english version of the guide, so in theory
this string change doesn't even require a translation. Am I wrong here?
