Again, nothing like this is hinted at in the documentation. I'll double
check on Monday what the Kylix 3 help says regarding BoolToStr and
StrToBool and localization and when it should actually be used.
Kylix 3 help on TrueBoolStrs variable specifies:
<quote>
When using the BoolToString function, true values are converted to the first
string of the list. When using the StrToBool function, any string in the list
is converted to true.

The same for FalseBoolStrs variable, of course.
Apparently the mechanism is intended to convert from human understandable or
localized strings to standardized TRUE/FALSE strings. The opposite of what
you needed. No wonder it fails for you.
But there is a bug in strtobool: it does not check all elements in the list.
(in fact, none) So that must be fixed.
