Right. But the new code in prefs.cc reads them anyway, so it doesn't
matter :). Possibly examining the return value of setlocale
(LC_MESSAGES, "") might do the same, but I'm not really sure. However,
if we chose to leave the language config option unset, unless the player
enters a value, it might be better to use the call to setlocale instead
of my code.

Nah. Strings needed to be enclosed in brackets since the beginning. Only
ints need none. That makes the parser much easier.
