The key point is that you don't have to do any searching at all (at least not 
at runtime). erd already knows at compile time to which strings the texts are 
translated, and can provide the needed information.

Hm, maybe i counted wrong, you will need a short for each translated string. 
But it is definitely much less than the compiled in hash tables.

Should i work on this at all? If we decide to just provide single-language 
512k ROMs, then that does not make much sense any more.
