TWINE: Some in-game options are being translated to ???

Description
This is on 2.8.0 official release and also on 2.9.0git from current master HEAD on Windows 10 x64 machine.
I'm testing with GOG's version of LBA1, English.
Issue description:
When I select Greek as the GUI language for ScummVM (from the launcher > Global Options > GUI > GUI Language) then, while playing LBA1, some in-game options are being "translated" to a series of "?" characters.
I suspect the game engine is picking up the translation of these options from the weblate, since these options are also available from the ScummVM GUI, in the "Edit Game... > Game (Tab)" screen, but since there are no fonts for non-ASCII language glyphs it displays ??? instead.
Maybe the engine in-game should not use the weblate translations?
I am attaching screenshots from the game to showcase how it shows in English and Greek.

TwinEMetaEngineDetection::toDetectedGame() could get overridden to limit the languages.
TextData::initCustomTexts() adds the custom translations.

Hint for a future me:
Characters in the twine engine are encoded in the extended ASCII standard (Western Europe (DOS/OS2-437/US)) character set. See https://www.asciitable.com/ for a list of characters - also check out https://www.lookuptables.com/text/alt-codes for the ALT codes.

The affected texts, as far as I can tell, seem to be:
"High resolution (on/off)"
"Wall collision (on/off)"
"Language selection"
"Voices: (English/French/German/None)"
