When 3.0 is released ledger can be translated using gettext. (You could even do that for those and other strings now. I don't think that much will change until 3.0. One could end up doing that work twice.) But given how DIY and modular ledger is in other regards it would be nice to have further configurability here too. I don't think that there is _one_ naming scheme everyone agrees on and it's too much work to change the localization files just for account names.
