Well, the current implementation of SC really requires you to write
functions.  However, this is quite easy to do by just copying and
pasting code from the old function.  Lessee.  Let's take
sc-header-author-writes as an example.  Here is the function
definition:

/----[ M-x find-function RET sc-header-author-writes RET ]
| (defun sc-header-author-writes ()
|   "<sc-author> writes:"
|   (let ((sc-mumble "")
|         (whofrom (sc-whofrom)))
|     (if whofrom
|         (insert sc-reference-tag-string
|                 (sc-hdr "" (sc-mail-field "sc-author"))
|                 " writes:\n"))))
\----

Even without understanding any of it, I'm sure you can quickly see how
to change the function name from sc-header-author-writes to
sc-header-author-schrieb, and how to change the `writes' to `schrieb'!
(One occurrence is the documentation...)

That's all there is to it.  Programming by copy and paste is a rather
simple thing.  No voodoo, no magic.

You can work your way up to more complex stuff later.
