XBMC - show movie titles in german?

I use XBMC to sort my movies. All the movies are named using their original (mostly english) title and I would like it to show the titles in german.

I already set XBMC language to german and rescanned the movie library, but the titles are still shown in english.

How can I achieve this?

If it is an English movie then the title will show in English since that is the proper name of it. If you want the movie title to show in German then you will have to manually edit the nfo file. In between the <title></title> type the German version of the title and then save the file.

Here is additional information about the NFO files.

Per Jack's suggestion you could also use a media manager program such as one of the following:

• Media Companion
• MediaElch
• YAYMan
• Ember Media Manager

Go to your library definition (screen where you define folder X has to be scrapped by service Y). Instead of pressing "OK" look for "Parameters". It then offers a preferred language, english is the default.
