Colin i18n

I have an Xbox, but I’m really not a console gamer. Colin plays it the most, and yes, he can out maneuver me.
Since he doesn’t read, he remembers screens by sequence and pattern recognition instead. This is cool except that he goes into the language settings and sets the language to Chineese because he thinks it looks cool.
It can be frustrating for those of us in the family that can read. One of the side effects of this for him though is that he’s actually learning a little Chineese now that he is learning to read.
I don’t know how handy being able to write “Level 1″, “Game Over”, and “Press Start” in Chineese will be as opposed to “American Embassy”, “Mens Restroom”, or “Dong, Where is my automobile?” but thats his problem.
