Set XBMC language to system language - phil65 - 2012-03-18

very simple request: XBMC is always set to english after installation, would be nice (especially for people who cannot speak english) if xbmc would detect system language and set xbmc accordingly.

I like this proposal. And I think that specific language version would be another option.
Default fontset of Confluence does not support many unicode languages like Korean, Japanese, Chinese. Changing default language without changing default fontset of Confluence may cause more serious problem.
Arial based fontset support unicode languages, but look of arial font is not so good for the default font of XBMC. So, I'm building Korean localized version of XBMC for Korean XBMC user community. I have modified some sources for Korean localized version. Set default language to Korean, included some Korean fonts, changed default fontset of Confluence skin, changed default scraper, included Korean repo addon and scrapers.
