Sigh. I just checked the videos. 'nds' isn't called "Dutch" anymore, 
istead it is now called "German: Low German". I have no idea what that 
is supposed to mean. In one of the other videos it is called "German: 
LowGerman" and in one even "German". The language 'nds' refers to is 
called "Low Saxon" and I don't think that Low Saxon will be all that 
useful for users expecting German subtitles after clicking on "German".

How about just using the same labels we use on our interwiki links?
