I could think of a couple of easier ways to do that, starting with simply copying/renaming the French favorites to the English ones, but yours is certainly one possibility.
Even better for you guys would probably be to simply provide Aditu with a French translation of the parsing terms, after all the program already does German and Russian in addition to English..
PS: I can probably change the language detection function to ignore the cl_language value if autoplay_world == Storms. There will be some cases where this will not work because autoplay_world is not set but for most it should work.
