[Gnucash-changes] r13065 - gnucash/trunk - Fail 'make distcheck' if POTFILES.in contains undistributed files.

Quoting Chris Shoemaker <c.shoemaker at cox.net>:

In that case why would you have the strings marked for translation?
I can't imagine you'd have a report that says (N_ "¿Donde esta el baño?")
if it's already translated and specific to a particular locale.  If all
the strings are pure strings then there's no harm in having that file
"marked" for translation.  The reverse, however, is an issue...

True, but just adding a simple check to make distcheck would solve that
problem now, instead of wondering why strings aren't translated later
down the road.
