Some game information comes in several languages. Skyscraper provides several ways of configuring these for your convenience. It is important to understand the distinction between game region and language. Setting a language is a user-preferred thing and will only affect the game descriptions and tags (genres). The remaining game data is tied to the region instead (artwork (screenshots, marquees, ...) and, in some cases, the game name).

It is possible to manipulate the default internal language priority list. You can either do this on command-line or through /home/<USER>/.skyscraper/config.ini. It is recommended to set it in config.ini for a permanent setup.
