I am pasting some lines from Materials.xml, as you can see it has by default some languages, not my native language. How can I insert a new language for the materials?

Hello, almost 2 years have passed since you've asked, have you succeded in it?
I'm not sure about description - I too would like to know the answer (see my thread here http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Inventor/Storing-extra-info-within-Physical-materials/m-p/279...),
but I suppose you can add the name for material in your native language if you know the decimal language code of it. Codes for some languages you'd find here http://www.science.co.il/language/locale-codes.asp?s=codepage
My native language (Russian) code is 1049 (is already among supported by default Inv library)
For example, code for Ukrainian is 1058. Thus to add Ukrainian material name I'd add line
<Name Language="1058" Description="">Bla-bla-bla</Name>
just before line

To see it I guess your OS's regional settings should be somehow set to your language.
