Absolutely. I've already explained the issue with the .xea account templates 
here: 
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation#How_to_translate_the_files_containing_the_new_account_hierarchies

@Nikos: Nevertheless thanks a lot for your instructions. Do you think you 
could add them to the wiki page http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation , 
maybe in the "How to translate the GnuCash guide and/or help files" section? 
Thank you very much!
