Additional information (optional)

It might not be completely a bug but for example, the first time I launched Houdoku I set only 1 language thinking well... I'm only gonna read in this language anyway so no reason to set anything else. But that made me believe Houdoku was broken since everything I added didn't show up. I was lucky to have a manga in English, this is when I understood, but for someone else it might make them miss on a very good software...

Anyway, if I'm allowed to make a suggestion, I noticed that when adding a filesystem Manga/Series, Houdoku is looking for "metadata" in folders name like VXX, CXX or [Release Group] to apply on each chapter. So my idea is that if Houdoku where to look for another "metadata" like {LANGUAGE} for example, it would be easy to get around the default language (in case that's too complicated to make editable).

I also have this as an issue. Adding manga using the filesystem method and select the language as Japanese, the chapter and directory names themselves are also in Japanese, though the chapter languages still show as English. Have looked through the settings and don't see any way to set this to the actual language of the manga.
