[YouTube] Video titles not respecting content language #3089

Description

@hardhead-roulette

The titles and descriptions for YouTube videos are not always in the language selected as the default content language, even where available. An example is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UDD_yw-LLw. On the YouTube website the title and description will display in English/Japanese depending on the language selected. On NewPipe the title will be in Japanese and the description in English, regardless of whether English or Japanese is selected as the default content language.

I've also noticed that when Japanese is selected in NewPipe, the titles displayed in the What's New screen and for recommended videos will still be in English when a translated title exists.

I've tried changing the default content country and my system language but this doesn't seem to have had an effect. My issue seems to be similar to the one in #1513, but it was closed a while ago and the behaviour persists for me.

Thanks in advance for your help, and apologies if this is a duplicate request.
