I think a well-code program stores all the dialogs and menus which belog
together in single files. At least we can assume that they are close
together in one big file. Thus it should work in most cases to check 
for duplicates only in strings from the same file. For programs with a
single UI-file a "LOC-distance" between the strings could be used to
differ between the dialogs.
