Hi Bill,

You left a comment in splitreg.c:162 that says the default strings for the 
'Action' field of a transaction are 'broken'. I am currently working on 
the (German) translation of Gnucash, which is related to this comment 
because I'm trying to translate those strings. What did you mean with the 
'FIXME' comment. Did you want to change some/all of them? 

Translating those strings gets harder than it seems. It would help if each 
line with a translatable string is *prepended* by a line with a comment 
that says what kind of action the abbreviation stands for. (e.g. what is 
the difference between AutoDep, Wire, and Direct Debit?)

However, some actions might not apply at all in different countries. Maybe 
we would need to come up with a locale-specific *set* of strings here... 
maybe that's a post-1.6 thing, what do you think?

Christian
