There will be a tag event before the first buffer with a
GST_TAG_LANGUAGE tag, if the language is known.

If you're using playbin2, you can get this information via

  GstTagList *tags;

  g_signal_emit_by_name (playbin2, "get-text-tags", n, &tags);
  ... process tags ...
  gst_tag_list_free (tags);

where n is the n-th subtitle stream counting from 0.
