I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to convey here. Can you clarify 
what you mean ?

Fwiw I have looked over the strings in these reports:
The daily reports has 4 strings that are unique to the report. Those are the 
names of the reports and a short description.
In addition it has two strings it only shares with average-balance.scm 
(related to showing subaccounts). I believe those should actually be aligned 
with the other reports. They are not unique to these two reports, only 
slightly formulated differently.
The average balance report adds 17 unique strings of which two are for the 
report title and description and most others are for options specific to this 
report. Of those again a number sound very similar to options in other reports 
and can likely be aligned.
hello-world.scm probably does add the most unique strings, though most of them 
are translations of things you'll need to understand in English anyway to 
effectively write a custom report ("text option", "multi-column option",...). 
The programming world unfortunately is very biased towards English. Function 
names are almost always based on English terms. So I have my doubts on the 
merits of translating those strings.

This part interests me more. I am curious now which report(s) exactly you are 
referring to here ?
