Windows Rain dialogue for Sandy and Dwarf on festival days (all platforms, presumably but a platform prefix was needed)

@ConcernedApe
This probably rarely pops up in anybody's game, but I noticed this (and wondered) making a translation mod. In the Festival files there are rain dialogue pieces for Sandy and Dwarf (so if you go to Calico desert or visit the Dwarf on those days, you get rain dialogue and it definitely is not raining)
The odd lines may've been there from beginning (If I remember right, they were there already at least in the version 1.4. which was the first I have translated.

What language game is affected? :3

It is probably in all the language versions. I used the English one for translation base, now I made a fast check, and found Sandy's and Dwarf's rain comments for festivals in all languages I could parse fast (Romance ones and German).

I cannot fast check if those lines actually pop up in the game. (would need opening a save where I have access to at least either Sandy or Dwarf, playing until a Festival and going to visit).

I had a save file (iOS, English) that was on the 28th of summer, so I went to check.

The dwarf said “One day you’ll have to tell me about this beverage you call “milk”.”

Sandy said: “It's always sunny here, even in winter! Actually, it's a little hot for my tastes... my delicate skin burns quickly in the sun.”

OK, Then I suppose those are lines that just never can appear. As they are in the file for the festival, and Sandy, Dwarf (and Krobus) are not in the festival so they do not trigger, either. I only see peculiar things when I'm looking at the source code. There seems to be some occasions where Sandy or Dwarf actually appear in a festival, but those seem to have extra conditions so those lines should not appear then, either! But the don't make sense. The lines are identical with the ones in the character dialogue, with the exception of the missing condition.
Just making the poor ol' translator's head spin.

Edit: Even more as I can see, that those lines are also in those blocks that are new in version 1.6. I know there are some Easter eggs (like Wizard lines in event he won't appear etc.) but those at least make sense in the context. Standard rain comments on festival days (when it cannot rain) do not. Unless... hmmmm. What happens if my character tries to use a rain totem on the preceding day?
