Sure. Does this concern only exactly this one string in druid-loan.c:2275?

Which options do you have in mind? Taxes are the one big exception of all
localization attempts, and I would go as far as claiming there is almost no
point in translating the en_US tax explanations because they are useless
outside of the U.S. anyway. Online Banking is probably the only other
exception we have. Is there anything more? I don't have any easy solutions for
both, though, except that the documentation should say somewhere prominently
that those are only valid in the U.S. (or, in case of Online Banking, in a few
countries).
