I don’t know how to do it with KDE’s tools, but on the command line with ffmpeg you can do something like this:
ffmpeg -i video_track.mp4 -i audio_jp.m4a -i audio_en.m4a -map 0:v -map 1:a -map 2:a -metadata:s:a:0 language=jpn -metadata:s:a:1 language=eng -c:v copy -c:a copy output.mp4
Breaking it down, it:
- runs
ffmpeg
- with three inputs (
-i
flag) – a video file, and two audio files. - The streams are explicitly mapped into the result, counting the inputs from 0 – i.e.
-map 0:v
maps input 0 (the first file) as video (v
) to the output file and-map 1:a
maps the next input as audio (a
), etc. - It sets the metadata for the audio tracks
-metadata:s:a:0 language=jpn
sets the first audio track (again counting from 0…) to Japanese; the second metadata option sets the next audio track to English. -c:v copy
specifies that the video codec should be copied directly (i.e. don’t re-encode – remove this if you DO need to re-encode)-c:a copy
specifies that the audio codec should be copied directly (i.e. don’t re-encode – remove this if you DO need to re-encode)output.mp4
– finally, list the name of the file you want the result written into.

If you need another language in the future, I think the language abbreviations are the three letter codes from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-2_codes – but I’m not certain on that.
