Comment (by criezy):

 In ScummVM, you can already easily change the game language. You just need
 to open the game settings dialog (select game in launcher and click on
 `Edit Game...`) and the `Engine` tab should have a language selection
 option.

 Choosing the language of the game by default base on the GUI language
 would be fiddly and complicated though. The AGS games do not really have a
 notion of language. They have .tra files, and whatever names are used for
 those files is listed in the language selection option (both in the
 original setup executable, and in the language option in ScummVM). For
 example for the French language it is called "French" for The Cat Lady,
 "Francais" for Kathy Rain, and "Nelly_French" for Nelly Cootalot. Mapping
 this to a known language would require making assumptions. We could make
 it work in the majority of cases, but there will always be cases where the
 game is using strange names and this will not work.
