The network code doesn't care.  It sends the untranslated string anyway.

I think in the future we should do away with the translation function in 
game.c.  Packhand and ruleset code should do the translation directly on 
load.  This would cut out a few more lines of code and make things more 
consistent.  However we first need to change the ruleset code to look at 
the name_orig value rather than the name value when it wants the 
untranslated string.
