They are a whole bunch of strings whose meaning is totally unclear. IMHO a
translator could at most have guessed what this should be here. For that
reason, and because OFX seems to be used in english-speaking contries alone
anyway, I decided those should better be left in the original language.
Before marking them as translatable, one would need to look up whether those
strings actually describe the OFX transaction correctly, or whether they
should be changed to something else anyway.
