hi,
after a long work :nuts:, i've finally checked-in my changes to support non latin characters in the skin, in file names and in tag information. this supports any language in the world.
to enable this:
1. go to settings -> skin and language
2. select the charset of your choice (english == western europe).
3. select the font set: arial ttf.
3. for hebrew/arabic language also enable the "flip bi di" checkmark.
note: the ttf font in cvs does not support far east languages (chinese, japanese, etc) due to copyright notice on the font. to enable this, copy your arial unicode ms (arialuni.ttf) to xbmc\media\fonts and replace the arial.ttf file found there.
that's it! next on the list is enabling ttf in subtitles... hopefully it will be added soon to complete the i18n mini-project.
to show-off, here are some screenshots:
