You can just declare an equity account with type V. The name doesn't matter. Eg:

```
account equity:conversion ; type:V , (or type:Conversion)

```

It's not a serious problem; declaring a Conversion account only instructs hledger which parent account to use if you use [--infer-equity](https://hledger.org/1.51/hledger.html#inferring-equity-conversion-postings). If none is declared, it'll use "equity:conversion". Possibly it shouldn't even be a warning. (But it's a hint that you might get postings generated with an unwanted english account name.)
