Localisation
- Made it so the Mod Launcher will show a language selection dialogue on first launch if there's any additional languages or on subsequent launches if the languages have changed.
- Also added the "-noselectlanguage" command line argument. This disables this dialogue.
- Also added the "-selectlanguage" command line argument. This forces this dialogue to show up.
