They can be used, as long as existing strings are not replaced. With GZDoom nowadays supporting multiple languages, using them should be encouraged, I'd say. As for the update itself, I had put it on hold until I get around to changing the way the event handler's variable is initialized, as the way it's currently done is wrong, from what I've learned later.
