How To Retrieve Strings?

You can open the map with an MPQ editor (I would recommend "MPQ Editor", it's a simple and nice program).

You can actually open maps with that (at least their archive). Just click "Open MPQ", select the map and done.
The file "war3map.wts" should contain all strings. If that file is gone, then so are your strings and you will have to rewrite them.

Edit: in case you cannot access the strings in the trigger editor, you can re-create that file.
Create a text-file, write:

Code:
STRING 1
{
Hello Everyone! (I think this is the map name?)
}
STRING 2
{
Put something here :D (I think this is the amount of players? Like "Any", or "4v4" or something.)
}
STRING 3
{
Description of the map I believe
}
STRING 4
{
Creator of the map
}
String 5-18 are the player names. Then come the force names. Then the trigger-strings.
Everything follows the same template ( "STRING X { text }" )
