This is both easier for translators ("toggle" can be an annoying word)
and is useful in general because you can tell if gameplay is frozen
without having to have anything in the room that should normally be
moving but isn't.
I didn't follow the rule in lang/README-programmers.txt to keep the
original string around as ***OUTDATED*** in this case, since I know
only Arabic has it translated - we can just tell the Arabic translators
on Discord that this string was replaced.
This hasn't been done since before we got some deliveries for 2.4,
so there are a few languages which added apostrophes as ' instead of
' in the XML (which is not wrong, but it gives diff noise whenever
there's a sync since VVVVVV writes them back as '...)
Also, we never synced "[Press {button} to toggle gameplay]" across
language files (now two strings with unfreeze/freeze), but that was
also a pretty last-minute string as far as I remember. Arabic did have
it because that language was added after the string was added, so it
got copied from English. I don't think this one is that urgent to
translate into every language for 2.4.1 since it's pretty well hidden
for most people, and it's surrounded by things that have to be English,
so it's as if it's supposed to be like that. Let's just include these
with whatever the next batch of strings is.
These were not in the English or any other language files. They should be though, so that they can be translated and generally kept track of. These aren't urgent either, since we have proxy strings that are used if these are untranslated.
These strings had been replaced over time and the original versions marked ***OUTDATED*** to allow for the original wordings to be reused by the translators who had only translated the original ones. (See lang/README-programmers.txt.) Now, these strings have all been updated in every language, so it's time to clean them up!
