Ah, I see the problem now.

Check the wiki concerning custom reports. You could edit the report's 
hard-coded total labels and then add that report to your menu.

Odds are, you don't have to know Scheme either. Just do a Find/Replace 
on the report code for whatever you want to change and then add the 
custom file properly as per the wiki instructions.

Regards,
Adrien
