Notes: With DCS 1.5 the mission file format has been changed. For localization reasons a large number of items are now saved in a lookup table within the .miz file. When parsing the mission file group names will appear as "Dictkey_groupName_x" however this value is of no use to the scripting engine. This function converts "dict key" value to its actual name.
