Translated videos are not uploaded with the language as tag

It would be nice for bigger conferences like the congress with multiple translations and a lot of talks to have playlists for each language. As a viewer on a mobile device it becomes really hard to find the desired video especially since we append the language at the end of the video title.

I think there should be a playlist for all languages and one with the original recordings.

33c3 Playlists (youtube)

For 33c3 I sorted them using a script afterwards but there should be an easier way, we could create the playlists in advance and auto-add the video according to the tag for the conference in combination with a tag for the language. e.g "34c3 German" and "34c3 OV". If youtube can't search for multiple tags in this feature we might use s.th. like "34c3_OV" I guess. youtube auto-add-playlist screenshot

It seems like the is already code that can do something similar but the uploaded videos do not have the tags.

One Example:

Additionally the "OV" feature is missing and the tag of translated versions is a bit verbose. Youtube Client Tag code: youtube_client.py#L377

There are only the tracker configured tags present:

To wrap it up:

Conference tag as example: "34c3"

• All videos should have the conference slug as tag "34c3"
• All videos should additionally have their language as tag "34c3 deu"
• Non translated videos should additionally have the tag "34c3 OV"

A video, originally in german with an english translation would result in:

• German Video → "34c3", "34c3 OV", "34c3 deu"
• Translated English Video → "34c3", "34c3 eng"

The repeating "34c3" slug is added since I am not exactly sure if you can add multiple tags and they are treated as AND condition. The help page is not really verbose https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6084053?hl=en

According to the youtube doc the white space in the tag should be fine, but if this is a headache underscore is totally fine.
