Hm, I learned from Pascal that it doesn't actually enforce, it but
allows indeed for others.

... I fear you're right and I was wrong. Scid translates piece symbols
only for display. In import (pgnparse.cpp, l.765ff) it's actually
hardcode to english.

Hm. I think it is not sensible to do it without the context information
of PGN what denotes a move, like in the lines of code mentioned.

Actually, if I look at the stanza in l.776 one could indeed add NLS
there if the language to use is known in the backend. I'm no expert
here, I fear.
