Yeah, that's about right.  We should really put this (and a related
suggestion to write a `$HOME/bin/gnucash-in-lang` shell-script that does
the same time) in the FAQ.

Certainly, mucking around with files in the installation on your
filesystem isn't advised.  It'd be better -- both more permanent and
more useful to everyone else -- if you can send us the translated
accounts hierarchy when you're done, and we can add it to the
