[YouTube-API] Re: HL (Language) parameter

I know, and this is great. But sometimes you have a multilingual site
where you want to make easy to switch the language in a video, and
with a custom player based on Youtube API is just impossible. I would
like to know if you will consider to support the hl param again, that
would be useful for that cases.

Thanks.
