Changed the description: This is a problem for LTR languages, too. If my
interface language in Commons is Hebrew, but for whatever reason i watch a clip
with subtitles in English or Italian, the subtitles are currently shown RTL and
it is wrong.

If the subtitles are an HTML element, they should always have lang="XX"
dir="XXX" - lang is known according to the file name and the dir is known
according to the language.

This may be a problem for Azeri, which may be written in Latin and Arabic (and
maybe there are still people who write it in Cyrillic) and for several
languages of India, which are written in Arabic and in LTR Indian scripts. For
these languages an extended code should be used, something like az-Arab /
az-Latn.
