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>
|
||
|
||
## Alternative
|
||
|
||
Try `yt-dlp` for some additional features and workarounds.
|
||
It uses the same flags as youtube-dl.
