Nintendo DS demo region issue + info missing from game pages and languages #7

I noticed when using the DS demos despite showing the wrong PEGI ratings all the demos are in english even when using the console in french, german, spanish, italian and dutch, after investigating a little further I belive that the demos that are used on the European version of the Nintendo Channel are American region demos this explains the missing languages on DS demos or games that where never distributed. Usually when a DS demo or full game releases in europe it comes in english, french, german, italian and spanish and sometimes dutch. I don't know if these could be changed and the European channel can use it's own region demos.

Another thing I found is some info missing on games pages, such as the PEGI rating and button that leads to the Wii Shop Channel to explain what are ratings. The American and Japansese do not miss this info and are displayed on the game's page.

And lastly I would really like if the games displayed the name and synopsis of the game in the language that the console is in. All the games despite having all the other languages names, are displayed in English despite having the console in another language, for example the Forecast Channel has different names in other languages such as Canal Tiempo in Spanish, Canale Tiempo in Italian, Chaîne météo in french and so on. The game's info is pulled from GameTDB and to avoid blank names and synopsis if some are missing they can fallback to english.
