Budget UI-how to support i18n?

In src/gnome/gnc-budget-view.c, some strings were hard-coded as part of 
the new budget UI that Phil Longstaff introduced 
(https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/commit/190665ac2f1c8062d0abd5bdfb714ee048cf6546). 
Starting at Line 350, The strings are "Income", "Expenses", "Transfers", 
and "Total". I was wondering how I would go about changing these strings 
to support i18n. For example, "Income" and "Expenses" are the names of 
top-level accounts that my account structure came pre-configured with. 
"Transfers" and "Total" are pretty generic and I'm sure there are 
already strings for them somewhere.

Where would I look for the translations of these strings and how do I 
bring them in to this part of the budget UI?

Here's the excerpt from src/gnome/gnc-budget-view.c:

+    totals_tree_model = gtk_list_store_new(2, G_TYPE_STRING, G_TYPE_INT);

+    gtk_list_store_append(totals_tree_model, &iter);

+    gtk_list_store_set(totals_tree_model, &iter, 0, "Income", 1, 
TOTALS_TYPE_INCOME, -1);

+    gtk_list_store_append(totals_tree_model, &iter);

+    gtk_list_store_set(totals_tree_model, &iter, 0, "Expenses", 1, 
TOTALS_TYPE_EXPENSES, -1);

+    gtk_list_store_append(totals_tree_model, &iter);

+    gtk_list_store_set(totals_tree_model, &iter, 0, "Transfers", 1, 
TOTALS_TYPE_TRANSFERS, -1);

+    gtk_list_store_append(totals_tree_model, &iter);

+    gtk_list_store_set(totals_tree_model, &iter, 0, "Total", 1, 
TOTALS_TYPE_TOTAL, -1);
