I added your patch to my tree but with some rejects because of the FS1
stuff.  They were easily fixed though so not big deal.  I made one
change that may not be necessary at the moment (since I didn't check)
but I added "max_scan_codes = sizeof(Scan_code_text_polish) /
sizeof(char *);" to controlconfigcommon.cpp.

One thing I wanted to ask you about is whether or not to get rid of
medals_translate_name_pl() and just use medals_translate_name().  I'm
assuming that the French version would need this at some point as well
so medals_translate_name() could be modified to support multiple
languages instead of just German which should make it easier to
modify/add medal translations in one place.  The call to
medals_translate_name() could be changed to "if (!Lcl_english)" so it's
used for everything that's not English.  Any language that doesn't have
a translating will still get the English text.  Opinions?
