Currently the system language is detected in the TranslationManager()
constructor (common/translation.cpp) when USE_DETECTLANG is defined.
Right now your port (and probably several others) can set _syslang
there. Anyway I propose adding getSystemLocale() to OSystem (returning
"C" in the base implementation). Maybe this could also be used in the
future to try to automatically select the default language when adding
multi-language games.
