What about a dumbed-down list of categories
<sports>
<tv>
Maybe: <tv gameshow | sitcom | talk>
<news>
<movie>
Maybe: <movie drama | action | etc >
<kids> / <kids edu | cartoon>
<sports>
Maybe: <sports football | baseball | hockey | tennis | etc>
and when a user downloads the list it will use their preferred language (in settings or what not)
Not sure how your backend is but if possible you can have the main epg have a variable for each epg category that will get replaced with the users preference on download or experiment with letting advanced users change it for themselves.
Personally I have tried adding something similar when I import by wget -O <file url> | sed -i <bunch of ident/append strings>, might give it another shot
EDIT adding list of categories currently provided at 11:09AM EST - It changes by provider so may be different tomorrow / next update
