Description

I have a very rare error saying that phrase "easy" is not exist in translation file, however, source code contains phrase "Easy" (with capital "E"). I dunno, how to reproduce this problem. However, is it possible to do something like introducing case insensitive mode to prevent such cases in future?

Problematic Code (or Steps to Reproduce)

LoadTranslations("player_menu.phrases");
...
PrintToChat(client, "%t", "Easy");

Actual source code (of error line) had been simplified.

Sorry, looks like simplified code totally lose context. Perhaps, "easy" -> "Easy" transformation could be related to menu items read/write problem. Original code:

VoteDifficulty(1, "Easy");
// ...

void VoteDifficulty(int client, char[] sDifficulty)
{
	Menu menu = new Menu(Handle_VoteDifficulty, MenuAction_DisplayItem | MenuAction_Display);
	menu.AddItem(sDifficulty, "Yes");
	menu.AddItem("", "No");
	menu.DisplayVoteToAll(10);
}

public int Handle_VoteDifficulty(Menu menu, MenuAction action, int param1, int param2)
{
	switch (action)
	{
		// ...
		
		case MenuAction_Display:
		{
			char buffer[255], sDif[32];
			Panel panel = view_as<Panel>(param2);
			menu.GetItem(0, sDif, sizeof(sDif));
			Format(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%T? %T", "MenuVoteDifficulty", param1, sDif, param1); // error here
			panel.SetTitle(buffer);
		}
	}
}```

Please at least attach the full plugin if you don't have a reliable reproduction.

Ok, shorten version of original plugin is attached. Error was in line 124. demo.zip
