The About box still prints a contributor's personal email address and a copyright year range, both of which the engine dropped in httrack #1453.

about_credits is our own hand-maintained copy of the engine's LANG_K1: it was run through build_strings.sh once and checked in, and nothing regenerates it, so it has sat at the old roster while the engine moved on. This mirrors LANG_K1 at engine 4055ba5a, including that script's (C) to © rewrite, so a later regeneration produces the same text.

Nothing else on the Android side needs changing. greetings.txt is bundled from the pinned engine by buildResourcesBundle, and html/index.html links both it and contact.html, so those roster surfaces follow the next submodule bump on their own. LANGUAGE_AUTHOR is deliberately not rendered: the merged engine change leaves each catalog's own credit in place, so adding it would print a second credit beside the existing one.

about_credits is our own hand-maintained copy of the engine's LANG_K1, run once
through build_strings.sh and checked in; nothing regenerates it, so it has sat
at the pre-2003 roster while the engine moved on. It still prints a contributor's
personal email address, which httrack #1453 deliberately removed, and a
1998-<year> range that build_strings.sh was rewriting on every run.

Mirrors LANG_K1 at engine 4055ba5a, including that script's (C) -> &#169;
rewrite, so a future regeneration produces the same text.

The other two roster surfaces need no change here: greetings.txt is bundled from
the pinned engine by buildResourcesBundle and html/index.html links it and
contact.html, so both follow the next submodule bump on their own.

The string edit went through a text-mode read and write, which rewrote all 253
terminators and buried a one-line change in a 506-line diff. The file is CRLF
and stays CRLF; the content is unchanged from the previous commit.
