Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Verify Feature Scope

  • I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

Problem Description

Image

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

Image

I strongly suggest enhancing the parsing capability to accommodate subtitle languages from diverse countries and regions.
