@jdepoix Hi, Youtube translated subtitles to be downloaded? e.g.

transcript_list = YouTubeTranscriptApi.list_transcripts(video_id="8iYCp3ZwoU8")
print(transcript_list)
For this video (8iYCp3ZwoU8) transcripts are available in the following languages:

(MANUALLY CREATED)
None

(GENERATED)
 - en ("English (auto-generated)")[TRANSLATABLE]

(TRANSLATION LANGUAGES)
 - af ("Afrikaans")
 - ak ("Akan")
 - sq ("Albanian")
 - am ("Amharic")

but transcript = YouTubeTranscriptApi.get_transcript(video_id="8iYCp3ZwoU8", languages=['af']) donot download.

This is correct since there is no (manually nor automatically generated) transcript in Afrikaans. There only is an automatically generated English transcript, which can be translated into Afrikaans. To do so, please have a look at the README.

I will close this now, as this seems to work as intended.
