Ok, i solved it. For french people just edit the english.str file with any text editor (e.g. Notepad) in the french folder. Search for the [ShipDefeated] and [ShipDestroyed] tags. You will notice two %s in a row. Just remove one of them. Pour les Francais modifiez le fichier english.str avec un editeur de texte quelconque (ex: notepad) dans le répertoire french. Recherchez les balises [ShipDefeated] and [ShipDestroyed]. Vous remarquerez qu'il y a deux fois %s
