Could you help on some uncleared strings during my translations?

[Mark Haanen]

I can only help you with some of your questions; hopefully one of the
devs can fill in the rest.

It's a shorthand for an apparently common interest rate structure in the
US: 3 years fixed, followed by a variable rate linked to 1-year Treasury
securities. ARM = Adjustable-rate mortgage.

Yes, it's the prefix to the fraction chooser. This string should
probably not be marked as translatable...

A noun.

As this is a glade file, it should probably be translated. These are
meant as examples of how to enter budgets. It's the second part ("every
2 weeks", "every 3 months") which should match some other part(s) of
your translation; "Every " at the start, a numeric value as the middle
part, and the third part one of the entries in the \n-delimited list
for ../src/gnome/glade/budget.glade.h:23

"Select neither one nor the other (i.e. make no selection) to skip the
transaction"

Revenue is more usual in a business environment, income is more usual in
personal finance. AFAICT both are equivalent in this program.

Yes: Calculate (budget - actual expenses) and display this value as the
difference. This means that overspending will result in negative values.
