No it's not. The code overwrites this string when drawing the dialog and 
then based on the entry selected in the 'Script:' combobox (cmb5). See 
CFn_WMPaint():

if( GetWindowInfo( GetDlgItem( hDlg, stc5), &info ) )
    {
...
        DrawTextW( hdc,                
                sample_lang_text[CHARSET_ORDER[lpcf->lpLogFont->lfCharSet]],
                -1, &info.rcWindow, DT_CENTER|DT_VCENTER|DT_SINGLELINE );
...

So the string which is in the resource file is useless and only causes 
grief.
