Exactly.  A friend of mine coded in a quick hack to do it, but it only
supports slang=XX (that is, no multiple choices, you can't do
slang=en,hu or anything) and it breaks vobsubid=0 (although I don't know
why anyone would use -vobsubid 0 on the command line).

In any case, it seems like the information is there and readily
available, so it should, hopefully, be easy to do.
