Description
* **PeerTube version or commit: 1.0.0-alpha.8**
* **What is the expected behaviour?**
A video might be in multiple languages. The movie [Le Jeune Karl Marx](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Jeune_Karl_Marx) is such an example: actors in the original vesrsion express themselves in German, English, and French.
A video might contain subtitles in a language that is different from the language spoken by the characters.
Maybe it would be worthwhile to have a language field per audio track, and one language field for the video. These language field should allow to select more than one language. The language field for the video could also allow to select [sign languages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_language).
* **What do you see instead?**
When editing metadata for a video, the dropdown only allows to select one language.

Research direction
The issue points to the video metadata editor and its language dropdown. Start there, then trace how video, audio-track, and subtitle language values are represented. Done should allow multiple spoken or subtitle languages, including sign languages, without losing the existing metadata.
