Better way to handle localized titles #151

This is mainly an issue with videos that use Youtube's localization feature. For instance, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs0Lxif1u9E Original Japanese title: RADWIMPS - すずめ feat.十明 [Official Lyric Video] Localized English title: Radwimps - Suzume (ft. Toaka) [lyric video]

Currently, there is no indication that this video has multiple original titles, so a DeArrow submitter may submit a title in only one language, which overrides the original title for the other language. For example, Radwimps - Suzume (ft. Toaka) [lyric video] (https://dearrow.minibomba.pro/video_id/Xs0Lxif1u9E) was submitted for the linked video.

A few proposals (I've mentioned them in the Discord at some point or another):
