Ability to select language #82

Hello.

Is it planned to add the possibility of selecting YouTube's messages? For example, when using VPN, comments are displayed with the language of the country of origin of requests. Or living in a country with a language other than preferred (multi-language countries).

Thanks for the suggestion, that sounds like a useful option. It turned out to be easy to do, so I just implemented this. From now on, you can specify the language by adding --language en (for english). By default, Youtube determines the language by looking at your IP.
