Currently the skin only supports English.

Well, not true actually. There is a german translation which comes with the current release.
However the file "addons\skin.bit(ten)\language\German\strings.xml" uses the wrong codepage to function correctly.
If you want to view the german "Umlaute", you need to change a little bit:

Change line 1 from

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="yes"?>

to

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

You are correct, however that language file is actually a legacy file from the base skin (metroTV). It hasn't been updated with all the new labels.
