> +        This makes it clearer/easier for the user to understand what's going on when the track label
> +        is not in the user's preferred language. For example, if a `<video>` has an "English" audio
> +        track, it's not very helpful to show "English (è±è¯­)" for Chinese users instead of something
> +        like "è±è¯­ (English)".
> +
> +        If the track has a `label` and either matches the user's preferred language or its `label`
> +        already contains the localized language name, combine the track's `label` with a localized
> +        description of the track if that description isn't already in the `label`. Otherwise, add
> +        the localized language name first, then the description of the track, and finally the `label`.
> +
> +        Here are some examples if the user's preferred language is English:
> +         - `<track kind="subtitles" srclang="en">`                  would show "English"
> +         - `<track kind="subtitles" srclang="en" label="Foo">`      would show "Foo"
> +         - `<track kind="captions"  srclang="en">`                  would show "English Captions"
> +         - `<track kind="captions"  srclang="en" label="Foo">`      would show "Foo Captions"
> +         - `<track kind="captions"  srclang="en" label="Captions">` would show "Captions"
> +         - `<track kind="subtitles" srclang="fr">`                  would show "French"
> +         - `<track kind="subtitles" srclang="fr" label="Foo">`      would show "French (Foo)"
> +         - `<track kind="captions"  srclang="fr">`                  would show "French Captions"
> +         - `<track kind="captions"  srclang="fr" label="Foo">`      would show "French Captions (Foo)"
> +         - `<track kind="captions"  srclang="fr" label="Captions">` would show "French Captions"

This is a fantastic explanation!
