Thanks a lot for these translated files. Somehow nobody had time to commit it 
earlier, but now they are included in CVS. That's great work. Oh, but by the 
way, gnucash still doesn't load it but this time because of format errors. I 
guess you can easily track those down, so please feel free to submit the then 
corrected account files once you've tested them by yourself.

This is actually a real bug. Gnucash looks for the account templates in the 
directory that is *exactly* named as your LANG. I.e. if LANG=fr_FR then the 
accounts in "fr" are not found. Therefore for now I put them into fr_FR 
instead of fr. 

This needs to be fixed, since LANG might always be a little longer than what 
we'd expect (LANG=de_DE.utf8 or de_DE@euro, for example). Gnucash should 
successively try the first part of LANG as an account directory. 
Unfortunately currently I don't know where to fix that -- anybody?
