Hi Marc,

well, the translations came from you IIRC - I have in my script:

("3221 Geldzuwendungen gegen Zuwendungsbestätigung", "3221 Monetary donations from donation 
receipt"),
("3223 Geldzuwendungen ohne Zuwendungsbestätigung", "3223 Monetary donations without tax receipt"),
("3225 Sachzuwendungen gegen Zuwendungsbestätigung", "3225 Benefits in kind donation receipt to"),
("3227 Sachzuwendungen ohne Zuwendungsbestätigung", "3227 Benefits in kind donation receipt 
without"),
("3230 Aufwandszuwendungen gegen Zuwendungsbestätigung", "3230 Expense allowances against tax 
receipt"),
("3232 Aufwandszuwendungen ohne Zuwendungsbestätigung", "3232 Expense benefits without tax 
receipt"),

, which are all donations (money, goods, stuff not reimbursed by 
members), either with someone wanting a receipt to hand in to
tax authorities, or without.

Nope, that is paying e.g. lunch on a project meeting. Hotel costs 
would end up in 2560.

Expenses valid under German charitable law, that don't fit other
accounts.

PDF should be easy to come by (print2pdf in my browser), for ODS I'm
sure there's scripting somewhere - any hints appreciated, the 
software in use is gnucash.

Yep, though that needs some report hacking - again, help appreciated
from someone familiar with gnucash. I'll look into that myself 
eventually, just currently quite busy with getting Concardis 
working. ;)

See above. Also, again IIRC you yourself were instrumental in 
getting this translation going. The original accounts unfortunately 
have to be German (using the so-called SKR49 account setup), which
is natively avaible in gnucash, but I hope we can get the 
translation script improved enough that this is comprehensible.

Cheers,
