Bit new to this so apologies if there's useful information missing. Been having a weird hiccup with a Bluey season 1-3 Blu-ray set I grabbed recently. Seemingly some titles are not parsing the English audio tracks and instead are reading duplicate French tracks laid out like so:

whereas other tracks properly report the 5.1 Surround English tracks. It's odd because on VLC it shows the English track but MakeMKV seemingly misses it.
MakeMKV is just copying what's on the blu-ray. I have seen mislabeled audio tracks before. At some point in the authoring process for the disc a human being has to set the code to mark an audio track as one language or another, so it is possible that it is just an error on the disc.
Yes, the tracks are entirely in French, English Subs. When put into hardware or played off a disc drive the English tracks appear and play properly but MakeMKV seems to only find the French tracks.

If you try ripping those titles and including all of the audio tracks in all the languages, are any of them English?
If none of them are, you could try making a decrypted backup of the disc (icon of yellow folder with green arrow on the first screen of MakeMKV) and then using something like MKVToolNix GUI on the decrypted backup or specifically on the .m2ts file in question, <backup>/BDMV/STREAM/00034.m2ts. MKVToolNix can also create .mkv files.
