Comment (by audrasjb):

 Replying to [comment:13 BjornW]:
 > Is the language dropdown still only available via the video widget if
 someone presses the 'edit video' button?
 Yes of course. That was even the place where I worked, which was easier
 for me since I'm widgets screen component maintainer.
 > Where do the languages used as options come from (how can this be
 extended?)?
 In this workaround, I only copied WordPress language dropdown available WP
 Admin General Settings.
 > Would it be possible to derive the language from the subtitle file
 without options?
 I don't think so, because as far as I know there is no meta data tags in
 subtitle files.
 > Adding the dropdown, does not (yet) solve the surrounding issue of
 finding this setting. What are your ideas about solving this (and how does
 this relate with Gutenberg?)
 It is not related to Gutenberg in my opinion. It is related to interface
 design (in the broader sense of design – aka not only ''graphic'' design)
 and to WordPress Documentation ("Where can I find these settings?").
