I am currently starting the design phase of the next utility that I will write

the outline of the program is check all of the entries in the str files against the nameStringID & descStringID lines in the entity files, showing and orphans and missing entries in each of the str files in the mod which might help the multilingual mods and also make it easier for modders to translate between languages.

if any non-english playing sinners could email me a copy of their *.str file(s) from  entrenchment to me at 'harpo99999 at hotmail.com', so that I can test the program against the different language str files, and also allow the program to work with as many languages as possible

edit I am going to make do with the english,frensh and german strs that I have found in various mods

I am pauseing the development for another utility for updating mods and copying then to the new mod folder finished

and the entity check was the MAJOR PROBLEM I have removed the entity file checking and added addingcapital & starbase names up to the apparent limit of 511 entries per race(stars & planets have a 511 limit) in each and re-designing the user interface to better fit it's new role( might re-add in future , but not in at present)

and I might be able to add string file merging( with any differences for the same value as a different entry. this is mostly to help with mod merging) (not added at present)
