Missing technology modifier-descriptions for character bonuses?

[eradicator]

I feel like i've asked this before...
I noticed that the following bonus modifiers have no translation in the technology tooltip:

Code: Select all

modifier-description.character-crafting-speed
modifier-description.character-running-speed
modifier-description.character-build-distance
modifier-description.character-reach-distance
modifier-description.character-item-drop-distance
modifier-description.character-resource-reach-distance
modifier-description.character-item-pickup-distance
modifier-description.character-loot-pickup-distance

Of course i can manually fix them for english:

Code: Select all

[modifier-description]
character-crafting-speed=Crafting speed: +__1__
character-running-speed=Running speed: +__1__
character-build-distance=Building distance: +__1__
character-reach-distance=Manipulation distance: +__1__
character-item-drop-distance=Item drop distance: +__1__
character-resource-reach-distance=Mining distance: +__1__
character-item-pickup-distance=Item pickup distance: +__1__
character-loot-pickup-distance=Loot pickup distance: +__1__

But this seems weird as they are already correctly translated in the "Bonus Gui". I've found this old thread dealing with a similar problem, but i'm not sure if that discussion was more about modded "nothing" modifiers than built-in ones. And the locale system has no support for dynamically cross-referencing the translated strings from "[gui-bonus]".

So why are these only translated in the bonus gui? Would it be realistic to request them to be officially added?

If the strings have the same name, can you just copy and paste the entries from one locale to another?

If you tell me what I was looking for, I could write a script that does it for all locales/strings that are in one but not the other. I'd be more worried they have different names.

The issue is not "how do i script around base game issues".
The issue is "why is this an issue in the first place and how do i get it fixed properly?".

[Honktown]

To get it fixed properly, locale strings should have a global scope, and be accessed from there. That would be it. There could be a potential performance issue, depending on how Lua handles the key to a string (there would be a lot of strings in there).

Presumably strings have scoping, and it wasn't enough of an issue to go back and fix it for everything, as for the reason.
