It will default to English, but you can specify another language with the flag --sub-lang:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> youtube-dl --sub-lang sv --write-auto-sub <URL>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can list all available subtitles with:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> youtube-dl --list-subs <URL>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It’s also possible to skip the video and only download the subtitle if you add the flag --skip-download:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> youtube-dl --sub-lang sv --write-auto-sub --skip-download <URL>

It uses the same flags as youtube-dl.
