Great idea.

"A language translation in GnuCash is considered fully supported when it 
has reached greater than 90% translated strings, not counting the 
strings from some country-specific features"

Also, I'm going to use the latest .pot file to determine the maximium 
possible number of strings to translate.  So, actually, some 
translations will get lower % done over time, if they don't keep up to date.

German and (unfortunately) Brazilian Portuguese.  I didn't notice the 
"no need to translate outside of Germany" message until I was nearly 
finished translating all the HBCI strings.  :)

I plan on running each .po file through a filter that will strip any 
msgids that have "hbci" in the comments or msgstr, and make a temp file. 
  This temp file then will get run through "msgmerge --statistics". 
That way, if you *did* translate some HBCI strings, that won't 
artificially boost your % done.

Sound good?
