I think you did. I'm all for improving the language handling.

It does. The order in english.lang is not changed in the code.

However, it could be considered bad practice to depend on the order of
the language strings. With todays system, you can be sure that the
strings are in the same order as in the english.lang file, but maybe not
tomorrow.

Still, there is no function that can provide a char ** array to the
strings. You'll have to write one.

Always passing the ID's may not work in every case, though, as I
explained in my previous post in this thread.
