Feature request/suggestion - split the output into multiple DAT files based on languages #281

@zealvix

Description

@zealvix
  1. Would it be possible to have a "split the output into multiple DAT files based on languages option similar to the one for regions right now?
    And maybe only include the game in 1 language DAT/file (depending on the language order) if it contains multiple languages.

Would be very useful for sorting/tidying library by languages which is not always apparent in the filenames.
Example, some ASIA region games such as "Sanguozhi V (Asia)" or "Shediao Yingxiongzhuan (Asia)" do not clearly specify the languages in the filenames, and may include only English or Chinese (or both), so it is not possible to search/filter in windows file explorer if you want to extract Chinese only games out for example.

  1. Alternatively, would it possible to still output the release/region/language record for each game , example: "release name="007 Shitou - The Duel (Japan)" region="Japan" language="Ja"/" when "output dat file in legacy parent/clone format" is disabled?
