Hard Coded text?

The guys doing the German translation of GC came up with a list of stuff that was hardcoded, and I had to spend some time changing it.  Things like the months, bc, etc.  I had some more in my report tracking spreadsheet, which I also took care of, but I wanted to see if you guys could come up with any others.  Some of this will benefit anyone who has made/wants to make a full mod of Gal Civ.

This is what I fixed yesterday:

1. The Word 'DONE' on the Research Completed win (with the robot).

2. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc on the stats screen. 

3. The month strings.

4. In the Sector Influence Popup, “Sector Influence by Civilisation”

5. Lease companies, terms, bc

6. Stuff on the Minor Races screen, Minor Race names.

7. Initial ship names USS Hero, USS Discovery, Drengin Flagship, etc.

8. Sol, Earth, Mars, Saturn

That's the key stuff that I've seen. Can't really add to the list of hard coded things, haven't tried to mod in that fashion yet.

However, if you are playing around with English.str, there are some problems with it:

*** ENGLISH.STR ***
The Key Human_Threat is duplicated in TableAlias Diplomacy.
The Key Human_Grovel_Good is duplicated in TableAlias Diplomacy.
The Key Human_Grovel_Evil is duplicated in TableAlias Diplomacy.
The Key Colonies is duplicated in TableAlias ForeignStats.
The Key Population is duplicated in TableAlias PlanetDetailsScreen.
The Key PlanetQuality is duplicated in TableAlias PlanetDetailsScreen.
The Key Cost is duplicated in TableAlias ShipList.

Just thought you might want to know. As always, thanks for all your hard work.

Duplicated in that there are two entries in the same table? That's interesting. I'll check that out.

Yes, the game seems to take the first and ignores the second.
