This most likely means you have installed your translation files in several 
places. I would guess your original (rpm?) gnucash installation installed 
into /usr, which means your el.po file got compiled into the file 
/usr/share/locale/el/LC_MESSAGES/gnucash.mo. If you compiled your gnucash 
source package now with --prefix=/usr/local or if you didn't specify a prefix 
(which means it uses the default /usr/local/), then your edited el.po file 
got compiled and installed into 
/usr/local/share/locale/el/LC_MESSAGES/gnucash.mo (check the file edit 
dates). If this is the case, then the easiest fix would be to configure your 
gnucash source package with 

  ./configure --prefix=/usr

and then typing 

  make
  make install

will overwrite your original (now outdated) translation with your updated 
translation.
