Since the original release of FS2, internal strings have been translated to their English entries in strings.tbl but external strings have not been translated to their English entries in tstrings.tbl. It appears that string translation was universal until it was disabled via a hack, probably due to FRED idiosyncrasies (see comment in `fred_init()`), and then not re-enabled for release. PR #2343 re-enabled it, but this turned out to have undesirable side-effects since many mods used incorrect XSTR indexes for external strings. This PR restores the previous behavior and also cleanly separates localization into translated and untranslated modes. FRED will always run in untranslated mode. FSO will run in translated mode for all languages except English, where it will run in untranslated mode UNLESS the new option `$Use tabled strings for the default language` is enabled in game_settings.tbl.
