<p>IMO, it would be better to just use the string that was originally translated by Cyan/Broderbund here than something thought up by our translators (except in the rare case there is no translation of Myst/Riven games, since they really spent a lot of time creating a myriad of translations).</p>
<p>Which brings up another point: Should the string be set by game language or the GUI language?</p>
