Oh, for some reason I thought the translation should have been

msgid "Action Column|Deposit"
msgstr "Action Column|存款"

I guess I was incorrect.  I thought there were some translations where
you specifically needed to keep the early part of the string.  But
perhaps that's more likely in the cases of something like:

msgid "reconciled:y"
