Description
Currently, the only information we give to users about languages present in a ZIM is the ordered list of languages available in the ZIM, with the Language metadata (see https://wiki.openzim.org/wiki/Metadata)
Some recent use cases tend to show that we probably need more detailed information. In TED use case for instance, we typically would like to know how many videos have audio in a given language, and how many videos have subtitles in a given language.
How could/should we implement that in the ZIM?

Research direction
Start with the linked ZIM Metadata specification and the existing ordered language metadata. Compare the TED use case for audio and subtitle counts, then clarify the proposed representation and its compatibility requirements before implementation. Done should be an agreed design for exposing these per-language counts.
