I am setting up youtube videos using the "eminline" filter and the html5/iframe option in media_youtube on my multilingual website. There is no language support in media_youtube so the Youtube player interface is always in English. There is no reason not to detect the current Drupal language and specify that in the URL (although testing reveals that the "hl" language argument may not always be honored, perhaps based on yt cookies).

Sounds like a great idea. Patches welcome.

Upon investigation, I don't believe that Youtube supports localization of the player interface via arguments. Only cookies (language selection while visiting the youtube website) are supported as far as I can tell. The iframe/html5 embed solution seems still beta-ish so I'm guessing it just isn't supported yet but perhaps later. Bummer.

I'm not really interested in creating a patch to support this with the old flash embed method.

Agree. Let's postpone this until we get a reliable/documented localization method with the iframe player.
