We do not use the network.
I think we can safely parse the stuff from the pipe (=not from network).
Where is the problem?
Example:
barbarians    +=2     (0,4)          Häufigkeit von Barbaren
The name of the option is not translated. The current and the minmax
values are not translated. The only thing which is translated is the
description. 
But the server has the same language as the client because it has the
same environment (If it is started using the patch) so the description
can be safely used in label near the slider for that value.
