Hi,

Is that possible let iso-4217-currencies.scm belong to seperate .po
file? just like "gnucash-glossary", it's "gnucash-currencies", but it
will be used during the runtime. I don't know whether it is possible a
program can use 2 po file at same time.

If we can treat the iso-4217 currencies' name seperately, we can write
a simple script to convert existing iso-4217 po files to gnucash
project, and use them, without translators of gnucash involved in. And
it will not broke "string freeze".

And, actually, iso-4217 currencies is very different from the strings
in the existing po file. It's a set of string which belong to a
standard, and there is a seperate translators working on it. And
translators of gnucash actually can do nothing but merge them. For
each time iso-4217 translations updated, all translators have to
update there po. It should not let translators do it. It should be
done automatically. To do that, make iso-4217 to a seperate po file,
will make everything much easier. Just copy existing iso-4217
translations to a specific location, such as po/currencies, And use a
script to manipulate those file to gnucash, or maybe there is not even
necessary to do the manipulate.
