No, those strings should be included in the gnucash.pot file,
and the translated version should be displayed. Is that not the
case?

The src/gnome/gnucash.desktop file also has some translatable strings.
Eventually we should probably switch to using the xml-i18n-tools package
which can add those to the pot file automatically, I think. But that is
post-1.6.

Also, the sample account hierarchies in accounts/C/*xea can be 
translated. You can also change the hierarchies themselves to
suit the locale better.
