In src/gnome/gnc-budget-view.c, some strings were hard-coded as part of the new budget UI that Phil Longstaff introduced 
(https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/commit/190665ac2f1c8062d0abd5bdfb714ee048cf6546). Starting at Line 350, The strings are "Income", 
"Expenses", "Transfers", and "Total". I was wondering how I would go about changing these strings to support i18n. For example, 
"Income" and "Expenses" are the names of top-level accounts that my account structure came pre-configured with. "Transfers" and 
"Total" are pretty generic and I'm sure there are already strings for them somewhere.

Where would I look for the translations of these strings and how do I bring 
them in to this part of the budget UI?

Here's the excerpt from src/gnome/gnc-budget-view.c:

+    totals_tree_model = gtk_list_store_new(2, G_TYPE_STRING, G_TYPE_INT);

+    gtk_list_store_append(totals_tree_model, &iter);

+    gtk_list_store_set(totals_tree_model, &iter, 0, "Income", 1, 
TOTALS_TYPE_INCOME, -1);

+    gtk_list_store_append(totals_tree_model, &iter);

+    gtk_list_store_set(totals_tree_model, &iter, 0, "Expenses", 1, 
TOTALS_TYPE_EXPENSES, -1);

+    gtk_list_store_append(totals_tree_model, &iter);

+    gtk_list_store_set(totals_tree_model, &iter, 0, "Transfers", 1, 
TOTALS_TYPE_TRANSFERS, -1);

+    gtk_list_store_append(totals_tree_model, &iter);

+    gtk_list_store_set(totals_tree_model, &iter, 0, "Total", 1, 
TOTALS_TYPE_TOTAL, -1);



It’s pretty simple:

Make sure the file is included in po/POTFILES.in and wrap each string with _(), 
e.g. _(“Income”). All of the strings except “Transfers” are already in the 
message catalogs.
