Many people don't understand English. Having the support of different language in player will support a larger audience.

Hi Marek Filipiak
Our player supports en, es, fr, zh, pt languages. We pick the language from user browser.

Anshul Are you saying that the user's browser language is automatically detected? What happens if the user uses a language other than the ones mentioned above? In my case, visitors mainly use Korean browsers.
Anshul
Gumlet: it sets the default language, i.e. english

Anshul I noticed that player currently supports English, Spanish, French, Chinese, and Portuguese, but not Korean. Are there any plans to add Korean language support in the future?"
Anshul
Gumlet: we will check the viewers volume and add few more languages in the near future.

Also I would be happy, if you can make the player to support WPML plugin - I use this plugin for multilingual site - would be great if I can translate it using this plugin. Then you don’t need to translate it
Anshul
My Hobbyhorsee: thank you for your suggestions.

Can we force the player to display in a specific language (my site already has a language parameter)?
Anshul
jacek: right now, we are collecting it based on a user's browser language. However, we can check the feasibility of implementing this.

Let us know if you want more languages to be added.

Anshul: Would love to add Hebrew. Feel free to reach out of course. If settings can be RTL (see attached picture with opened settings, taken from youtube), would be a huge bonus. It will also help with other future RTL languages you may add.
Anshul
Business: Thank you for sharing the details. We'll check the possibility of RTL support.

Anshul: Thanks :)

Plus one. If it'd be possible to also make the player optionally show as RTL would be even more amazing
Anshul
Business: Can you share an example about RTL player, if you have any?
