Problem Description
Currently, OpenWebUI fails to retrieve or parse subtitles for any video that is not in English. It appears the system is restricted to the 'en' locale, lacking support for other languages.
Desired Solution you'd like
I strongly suggest enhancing the parsing capability to accommodate subtitle languages from diverse countries and regions.
