How to translate .schemas string (Whether or not translate the string in the quote?)

Yes, I know. This is a fundamental problem of the po file format - all  
strings are equal in there, and there isn't any easy method to assign  
something that looks like priorities or similar. I know the file is  
big, but I'm very sorry that we can't easily solve this problem.

Yes: All strings from any *.schemas.in.h file have the same issue and  
are clearly of lower priority than the others.

Indeed we might check into removing those from the main gnucash.pot  
file and instead moving them into some separate gnucash-gconf.pot  
file. I'll have a look later.

For now, I've added my current state of knowledge on the wiki page,
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation#Priority

Does that explain the situation a bit more for you?
