 * summary:  Some Japanese games get added with wrong names =>
     GUI: Japanese game titles are not shown if the GUI is not set to an
     Asian language

Comment:

 This happens because the game title is entirely in Hiragana, and to show
 those characters the GUI must be set to an Asian language (so it loads a
 different font).

 This would require some planning to fix, maybe the "cheapest" way is just
 to add the transliterated title, so we get:
 - Both original and transliterated title, if the GUI can show it
 - Just the transliterated title if the GUI is set i.e. to English
