Region preference expansion

Issue #7826 open
Uggie Ugstar created an issue

I love the fact that when scraping games to our collections we can chose which region to prioritise when scraping through full sets. I really love how this will then automatically try to set known alternative regional names for that game, artwork etc.

An area where I think this is missing is in the game descriptions and also for the console metadata and artwork.

Could alternative regional game descriptions be added into the metadata. These could be useful for where a game had an alternative title in that region and the title is actively used in the description, where the console name is actively used in the description and the console is known differently per region, or also where games had certain additional features or features removed.

This then goes further to the consoles themselves. Is it possible to add the ability to set a regional preference for the consoles as well i.e. automatically scraping as Sega Mega Drive, Mega-CD, Mega Drive 32X, Over Sega Genesis etc. Also then displaying the consoles data for that region, system artwork etc. I known it’s pretty straight forward to edit all this information manually, but having the ability to have this all done automatically whilst scraping that system would massively reduce set up times for those predominantly outside of the US looking to have everything look authentic to their little part of the world.
