Bzzt.  guile-strings.c is a magic file, generated solely for the purpose
of translation of scheme strings.  You'll need to search through
the .scm files to find the sources of these strings.

Also, it's POSSIBLE that changing these strings could result in
breaking existing report options, but that would depend on how
they are implemented.

Thanks,
