Summary	0002797: Add support for FM specific translations
Description	Each FM needs the ability to ship special "fm_english.lang", "fm_german.lang" etc. files, that can supply additional strings that are consulted during the normal translation, f.i. when showing readables. Instead of doing common->GetLanguageDict()->GetString( "#str_02916" ), something like gameLocal.Translate( "#str_10000" ) should be used, which first refers to the FM specific dict, and if that fails, to the common dict.

tels 06.08.2011 17:42 reporter ~0003976	This has been resolved by check-ins 0004935 and 0004942. The system dictionary now also contains any strings from "strings/fm/[tdm_lang].lang", as well as a fallback any that did not exist from "strings/fm/[tdm_lang].lang" (so mission authors do not need to provide any language, just english and what they can is enough).
