There is a new method to do that "setSubtitles". Default subtitle languages is "all". If you don't use this method, downloader will download all the available subtitle languages.
- Set 1 subtitle language.
```
downloader.setSubtitles("<language-tag>") 

# Example:
downloader.setSubtitles("fr") 

# If subtitles is available in French, downloader will download it.
# If the entered language is not available, then it will try to download alternative subtitle language (Default alternative language is English).
```

- #### Set multiple subtitle languages.
```
downloader.setSubtitles("","<language-tag2">,...)

Example:

If subtitles is available in French, German and Turkish, downloader will download them all.

If any or all entered language is not available, then it will try to download alternative subtitle language (Default alternative language is English).
```
- #### Set alternative language and change default common alternative language.
```
downloader.setSubtitles("|")

downloader.setSubtitles("fr|de") downloader.setSubtitles("fr|de","tr|it","az") # Multiple Subtitles

If subtitles is available in French, downloader will download it. Else it will try to download subtitles in German. Furthermore, if the alternative language is not also available, it will try to download English subtitles.
```
- #### If you don't want to state alternative languages for each subtitle one by one, you can use the commonAlternative keyword argument (Default : English). 
```
downloader.set(downloader.setSubtitles("", commonAlternative = "") downloader.setSubtitles("","<language-tag2">,..., commonAlternative = "")
