thank you very much for you interest! I have already copied your first draft 
into our SVN repository. I assume fa.po is the correct filename? Or fa_IR?

I recommend you should read into http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation to 
get an idea of how to continue with this task. In particular, I have two 
suggestions for you: First you should create a "glossary" first, which means 
you create a translation of the 100 key words of gnucash for yourself first, 
then continue with the actual translation afterwards in order to translate the 
key words consistently throughout the program. As a second suggestion, you 
don't have to continue your work throughout the fa.po file from top to bottom, 
but I propose you should start gnucash and have a look at all the english-
language strings you see, then translate specifically those strings that you 
see, because this will let you see the progress much faster.

We provide nightly builds for windows on 
http://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/trunk/ ; once a build with revision 
number r18558 or greater is there, it will already show up with your draft 
translation if started in fa_IR or fa locale settings. Otherwise, see 
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wki/Windows for more information on how to compile 
this on your own.
