[Scummvm-devel] NIPPON: making multiple languages and detector live happy together

There are 4 known versions of Nippon Safes. I'm listing them here together with
their language capabilities:

Amiga Demo         -> English
Amiga Full Italian -> Italian
Amiga Full Foreign -> English/French/German
PC    Full         -> English/French/German/Italian

The multilingual versions support all the languages listed above in the same bundle
and display a language selection screen for the user.

I wonder how I should build a description for the entries in the launcher. Using UNK_LANG and filling in the 'extra' field with language specifications yields:

'Nippon Safes (English/French/German/Amiga)'

instead of the standard:

'Nippon Safes (Amiga/Italian)'.

This doesn't look good, so I am wondering whether I should add one entry for each language and then completely remove the language selection screen. This would help with the Amiga Full Foreign version, which displays the same selection screen as Dos Full, but doesn't allow the user to select Italian.

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Peres
