_DEF ending contains the English string (should be exactly the same as
it is in the .soe file). The other entry withourt _DEF is
translatable. So in the localized resource we will have both the
English original and the localized string. When LibreOffice reads a
soe file, it looks for English definition in the resource and displays
its corresponding localized string on the UI.

Renumber the whole section of line endings, for example start from 2770.
