### Problem Description

Hi, I have FreeTube's UI set to Catalan and subtitles defaulting to on, and this is great, however I watch a lot of English language content and as a native speaker of English, google translated Catalan being the default isn't very desirable. However I also have audio processing disorder as a symptom of my ADHD and so I like having English subtitles.

### Proposed Solution

Allow subtitle language to be set to Original Language

### Alternatives Considered

Allow a default language or priority list for languages to be set

### Issue Labels

new feature, new optional setting
