Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Did something about Chinese films, but I couldn't find "Mandarin" or "Cantonese" in audio settings. Instead, the only languages I found were "Chinese (Simplified)" and "Chinese (Traditional)"

Describe the solution you'd like
Could you give more options in language?

Describe alternatives you've considered
Or could you make a custom option for the rippers?

Additional context
In China, The words written and the language spoken are different.
In subtitles, we choose "Chinese (Simplified)" or "Chinese (Traditional)", but in audio, we should choose "Mandarin" or "Cantonese".

🤔 Can you tell me which language-country code those would have?
Cantonese should be yue-CN, so Chinese (Simplified) is basically "Mandarin" and Chinese (Traditional) is "Cantonese"?

Or could you make a custom option for the rippers?

Nice idea, I will think about that.

Thx for ur consideration. I checked ISO 639-3 and found these:

Spoken Chinese (used in audio):

  1. Mandarin is cmn
  2. Cantonese is yue
  3. and these are so many other regional speeches, but they're not often used as a major spoken language in the movies

Written Chinese (used in subtitles):

What you list in StaxRip is complete. Great job! 👍

so Chinese (Simplified) is basically "Mandarin" and Chinese (Traditional) is "Cantonese"?

In general, simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese are different Chinese character forms, not spoken Chinese languages.
