[SRU] Please consider the patch attached to comment #10 for an SRU for
Quantal.

[IMPACT]
The game is unplayable for German users as starting the game in the German language mode (simutrans -lang de) results in a crash.

[Test Cases]
Test that the game is able to start in the German language mode (simutrans -lang de).  Additionally, other languages affected by the patch should be tested; cz, en, fr, hr and lt.

[Regression Potential]
Minimal: Only translations have been changed.
