They’re GUIDs, unique identifiers for the account. Common accounts (e.g. Root and the Assets, Liabilities, and Equity top-level accounts) need to use the same id in all of the xea files so that GnuCash doesn’t create duplicates when creating new hierarchies. There’s no problem with copying one of the existing sets of files and just translating the strings. But don’t use the C ones, those are for US GAAP which is a bit different from everyone else’s accounting standards. Pick one of the European countries whose accounting rules are closest to yours (perhaps cs, hu, hr, or sk) and start from there. Note that GnuCash still doesn’t have Credit and Debit grouping accounts so Assets, Liabilities and Equity are always at the top level.
