Description

A friend of mine who is not very tech savvy got confused at his games booting in English when Dolphin was "set to Spanish" and this gave me the idea that Dolphin should default the Wii and GC system language to whatever language Dolphin is set to. For him, the idea of having 3 separate language options was confusing.

Of course, the user can change Dolphin's language anytime, and you can't just override the system languages every time the user does that without a way to avoid it. I can see 2 different approaches to this.

One is to have a checkbox next to the system language options that reads "Match Dolphin's language". When it's checked, the option to change the system language is greyed out. I think this would be the best approach.

The other approach would be to only set the GC and Wii system languages during the first boot of Dolphin. For example, if my computer in set to Spanish, then during the first boot Dolphin would set itself and the system languages to Spanish, but if I change Dolphin's language after that, the system languages will remain in Spanish until I change them manually.
