Please discuss this *always* on the mailing list, never only with 
individual developers.

If you start to work on the gnucash translation, you might want to read 
the instruction from http://www.gnucash.org/trans/TRANSLATION_HOWTO , 
which are also included in the source package in doc/TRANSLATION_HOWTO.

But apart from that I have no idea about what might be wrong in your 
setup. Sorry for that. Maybe someone else on the mailinglist?
