Ah! You're running the last stable version (4.0) right? Not any of the 
cvs versions, ie. you do not compile Scid yourself? Then I can 
absolutely understand the problem and it should be solved in current 
cvs, indeed.

This is fixed thanks to a pointer form Pascal in current cvs.

I've added NLS for this in current cvs as well. That is from 4.1 onwards 
you'll end up on an english page if it exists.

Also there was a change at Wikipedia, that is why you come up at this 
strange page that is indeed not where you ever wanted to go. They 
switched off an important resolver tool at de.wikipedia.org. 
Unfortunately, changes @wikipedia are out of the scope of our project. 
In current code I moved to a resolver that should be much more reliable 
as it is hosted by a german library consortium and used there within 
their own catlogues.

Two options here: you wait for 4.1 to be released or you compile Scid 
yourself. The latter would be great as we could then see if I actually 
resolved all pending troubles. Probably, someone here on the list could 
provide a scid built for Windows against the current cvs?
