    The beginnings of localization of text.dat to Spanish and German

    Of course, I'm just guessing using DDG Translate, I don't actually speak
    these languages with any fluency, so I could use help from those that do.

    These files aren't directly used by anything yet. One could copy or symlink them to ctrl/text.ini or dynamically load them for certain users (right now, that'd be done via JS).

    The beginnings of localization of text.dat to Spanish and German

    Of course, I'm just guessing using DDG Translate, I don't actually speak these languages with any fluency, so I could use help from those that do.

    I'm not a native speaker of either, but I studied German in high school. Looking at text.de.ini - I believe the correct translation of Minutes would be "Minuten". "protokoll" might be in a different context, I'm guessing.

    Also, nouns are all capitalized in German - so, things like Jahre (years) Tage (days) Stunden (hours), etc. should all be capitalized.

    Add FREE translation (6 chars or fewer is desired)

    So KOSTEN means "cost" in German, sort of the opposite of FREE. Maybe
    "!KOST" would get the point across?
