Setting system Locale

Apologise if this is already listed, I did a search and did not find anything.

In Settings -> Appearance -> International you have the option to set your region. It would be good if this could be a system wide setting or at least the option to make this system wide. That way you could select once to say set XBMC to work in a specific country and any additional items would follow.

For example but not limited to:

Scrapers would gather info for that country such as USA would use MPAA ratings and UK would use BBFC ratings for films etc

Changes to some text and grammar to make it more suitable for the selected country and headings changed to match specific items related to that country. Again as an example MPAA Rating would change to BBFC Rating if UK selected or what is relevant to that country selected.

It would put some work back on people that develop skins and add-ons to make them more internationally accepted. But there could be a short list of a few main countries that you should aim to include. Making it something that is set in the core app then enables a standard variable which can be passed to a skin or add-on so they know what country to work with. Then have that if the country selected is not available it defaults back to what the current standard is which seems to be USA.
