If you /can/ get it, writing a script to convert them over would
be pretty easy. Windows resources are indexed by internal ID.
strings.lst is a map (albeit a reverse map) between resource and
internal ID. We could build a (mostly accurate) German strings.lst
(for temporary purposes) by running the resource converter on the
German windows resources, take the resultant strings.lst and revert
the changes. Then map together the two strings.lst file. I would
have to make the converter (e.g.) Umlaut-safe, but that would be no
bad thing.
