YouTube displayed language question

It seems when adding a YouTube link to a post the summary for the video appears in a different language. Is this a setting I can address or this a server side occurrence? Please see the attached for reference. Anyone else notice this?

The server runs in Germany, so probably YouTube detects that?

I hear you. Was just surprised is all (had not seen that before).

That’s interesting. I wonder why the image didn’t load for you?

No clue - I mean, we're all on the same server (friendica.world), so it shouldn't be a federation issue at least. 🤷‍♀️

@Ruud just a quick couple of questions - I know you have other issues that are top of mind right now (and rightly so), but any chance this could be addressed to pull in the YouTube preview when a link is added and the "YouTube description in German removed?" Most distracting and unsightly. The display of just the clickable link is also distracting. I guess it's most concerning with the lack of consistency on this. Thanks for your attention to my comment!
