I have 3 files: video.mp4, audionl.mp4 & audioeng.mp4. I tried adding them all together in 1 output.mp4 file like this:
ffmpeg -y -i video.mp4 -i audionl.mp4 -i audioeng.mp4 -map 0:v -map 1:a -map 2:a -metadata:s:a:0 language=nl -metadata:s:a:0 title="NL" -metadata:s:a:1 language=eng -metadata:s:a:1 title="ENG" -acodec copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc -vcodec copy -movflags faststart output.mp4 2>&1
This is the output I see from ffmpeg:

As you can see in there: "Stream #0:0(eng)", "Stream #0:1(nl)" & "Stream #0:2(eng)". So that looks fine.
But when I open it in VLC, I see under Audio tracks: NL - [English] ENG - [English]
So I went back to check on ffmpeg with "ffmpeg -i output.mp4":

And here they are English again...
Afterwards I tried this:
ffmpeg -y -i audionl.mp4 -c:a copy -metadata:s:a:0 language=nl output.mp4
But also that failed to set the correct language on the output file... I'm at a loss here and hope someone can help me set these languages correctly.
Thanks a lot!

There are three output files specified, and for the first two, no -map options are set, so ffmpeg will select streams for these two files automatically. out1.mkv is a Matroska container file and accepts video, audio and subtitle streams, so ffmpeg will try to select one of each type.
Since you've not specified an encoder for subtitles, ffmpeg is trying to pick one and fails since it doesn't have an image-based subtitle encoder. You can copy or drop the stream. Of course, your primary aim is to map only the audio stream by language.
All codec AVOptions are per-stream, and thus a stream specifier should be attached to them: ffmpeg -i multichannel.mxf -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 -map 0:a:0 -c:a:0 ac3 -b:a:0 640k -ac:a:1 2 -c:a:1 aac -b:2 128k out.mp4 In the above example, a multichannel audio stream is mapped twice for output.
Furthermore, the audio stream is MP3-encoded so you need to enable LAME support by passing --enable-libmp3lame to configure. The mapping is particularly useful for DVD transcoding to get the desired audio language. NOTE: To see the supported input formats, use ffmpeg -demuxers .
FFmpeg expects ISO 639-2 codes for languages, so for Dutch, it's either
-metadata:s:a:0 language=dut
or
-metadata:s:a:0 language=nld
