Hi SternXD, first of all, thank you so much for maintaining this UWP build of Dolphin — it works great on Xbox!

I have a suggestion: the current release (1.1.9.0) doesn't have any language options, and the UI is English-only. For many users (especially in China and other non-English-speaking regions), this makes the emulator quite hard to navigate.

What I'd like to see:

1.A language selection option in Settings
2.At minimum, Simplified Chinese (简体中文) translation, since Dolphin upstream already has official Chinese translations that could be reused
I know this is a side project and it takes time, but this would help a lot of players who want to enjoy GameCube/Wii games on their Xbox. Thanks for considering!

Reason

As a non-native English speaker, navigating the emulator in English-only UI is inconvenient, especially for many settings and options that already exist in the upstream Dolphin Chinese translation. Adding multi-language support, particularly Simplified Chinese, would make the emulator much more accessible to a large number of Xbox users in China and other non-English regions, allowing them to configure settings and enjoy games without language barriers.

Examples

The official PC version of Dolphin already supports multiple languages, including Simplified Chinese, through its interface settings. Similarly, emulators like RetroArch and Xbox system settings allow users to switch UI language from a dropdown. For UWP Dolphin, a simple language selector in Settings → Interface would be enough, with the existing official Dolphin translations reused.
