Could you make currency's names are shown in local language?

Unfortunately no. There hasn't been any work in that direction so far  
since the comments in the bugzilla entry.

The strings would need to be marked so that they get included into the  
gnucash.pot translation template. In iso-4217-currencies.scm you need  
to enclose the first string by the (N_ ... ) scheme function, such as  
(N_ "US Dollar"). Then run "make pot", which should make those strings  
appear in the gnucash.pot translation template. Then translate them in  
your po file (de.po or similar). Then run "make install" in the po/  
directory. After that, the translation should be there.

In particular, the call to the translation function itself is already  
included in the program (in the C code generated by  
iso-currencies-to-c, where it says "_(fullname)" ), but currently it  
doesn't get any translation because the strings are not included in  
the gnucash.pot in the first place.
