Ahh... now I understand... no... (though I guess I could add it if you 
want).
Feel free to make such a request at the trac site at nsclient.org and I 
shall see if I can fix it (going to Germany for maschinenfest so might 
take a week or two before you get it in a "nightly build").

Another option would be to "include" a "local.ini" file and have the 
language specific counters there.
(look under the [include] section). But this would I guess require you 
to make some "manual" handling so I think an index based solution would 
perhaps be better.
Also there is WMI which does much of what PDH does but again the index 
solution might be simpler...
