For some unknown reason the Dutch language description is used in 
Finland for hard of hearing purpose. For example some events have "audio 
subtitles", where a synthetizator speaks out the finnish subtitles. It 
seems that "dut" is also used with subtitles...

Well, this might be fine for audio, but with subtitles I'd shown them 
only if a preferred track is found.
