Alright, if you use libcod you can use use new makelocalizedstring function:

		// Find free localized string index
index = findFreeConfigStringIndex(1310, 256);

// Set configstring
setConfigString(index, level.mapcandidate[0]["mapname"]);

// Your Hud Stuff
level.votemap0 setText(makeLocalizedString(level.mapcandidate[0]["mapname"]));

findFreeConfigStringIndex(start, end)
{
    for (i = start + 1; i < start + end; i++)
    {
        configstring = getConfigString(i);
        if (!isDefined(configstring))
            return i;
    }

    return undefined;
} 
	

Just tested it, works quite nicely.

edit:
This works

		init() 
{
    thread ShowTime();
}

ShowTime() 
{
    self endon("disconnect");
    wait level.fps_multiplier * 1;
    
    localtime = getlocaltime();
    index = findFreeConfigStringIndex(1310, 256);
    setConfigString(index, localtime);
    time = newHudElem();
    time.x = 70;
    time.y = 460;
    time.alignX = "left";
    time.alignY = "top";
    time.fontScale = 0.8;
    time.color = (1, 0, 0);
    time setText(makeLocalizedString(localtime)); 
}
findFreeConfigStringIndex(start, end)
{
    for (i = start + 1; i < start + end; i++)
    {
        configstring = getConfigString(i);
        if (!isDefined(configstring))
            return i;
    }

    return undefined;
}
