Thanks for the pointer. Actually, the ones in question were
not in the ECO file but in the language file of Scid. I'll
try to figure them out.

Here, Scid uses and extended ECO set. Probably Scid goes
deeper here than the translations you mention (I did not
check). Side note: SchemingMind is planning to use Scids
enhanced ECO for their classifications. :) Therefore, if
someone would want to check into this, the work would even
have a broader application than "only" Scid ;)

Its not that there is no reason ;) The tags mentioned are
just in another part of Scid, I do not know their common
german names (sometimes they differ).

... for me it has, export LANG=C and use english troughout
the system ;)

But I'm impressed. Learning german as a foreign language is
surely a major project of yours. That is, I'd not want to
have to learn it. Some famous american author outlined some
of the stranges things in this tongue in a pretty humerous
manner. And as a german I've to admit: he's right and he
really finds very good examples. (As a native speaker one
just does not notice certain things.) Have fun:
