Creating probable links

Author	Use Foster link to indicate uncertainty

As the idea of fostering is fairly recent, I only use adoption where children are taken over by other people (normally relatives) This means that the Foster link is not used and can be used to indicate where more work is needed. The use of a dotted line is useful for this and I change the colour to make it stand out. I then realised that it should be possible to modify a Custom Skin to show the words 'probable' etc instead of Foster. I first hacked at Dictionary.xml but this is not enough and may be completely the wrong place, although a Report did emerge with no obvious changes. I then found that Lang.vbs also contains Foster information but this is less direct ie seems to be using variables to construct the text. Before I get completely confused, could you advise me which files need to be modified for this - or am I trying something that is not really going to work?
