From a brief look at the code it appears that the strings are marked for extraction to msgids in report/business-report/taxinvoice.scm but that gettext isn't actually called on them... but it's option text and the option system is pretty convoluted so I might have missed it.

1) sorry for my misunderstanding:

from gnu cash.org download mac osx intel 
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gnucash/Gnucash-Intel-2.6.19-1.dmg

ls -l /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/gnucash.mo.bkp
-rw-r--r--@ 1 paul  admin  509687 Dec 17 17:31 /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/gnucash.mo.bkp

from git clone 
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash.git

ls -l  ~/Develop/gnucash/gnucash/po/nl.po
-rw-r--r--  1 paul  staff  968123 Jan 19 01:54 /Users/paul/Develop/gnucash/gnucash/po/nl.po

i think that they are NOT the same.


2) my question remains:

i made an insignificat change to the .po, run mnsgfmt and copy the .mo to the app.
i verified that the change is present in the app .mo
it is not pcied up by gnu cash.

i still dont understand how to do it right. please explain. 
if you say that the option system doesnt use the .mo please explain how other option texts do get translated.
