I have no idea. It means the gconf daemon (gconfd) somehow doesn't pick up 
your updated .schemas files with the updated translations. This might happen 
because

- the updated / hand-installed .schemas files were installed into a location 
different from where gconfd is looking for schemas files, e.g. /usr/local 
vs. /usr

- gconfd doesn't reload the schemas files right after "make install" of 
gnucash and would need some hand-triggering of that reload

- or I have really no idea.

Christian
