Reporting issue here as advised by @Unrud at Unrud/video-downloader#166 (comment).

Sorry, don't know the responses to the checkboxes. Have checked them so that this issue could be created. Please accept apologies and don't block.

Watching Fatima on YouTube or FreeTube, the audio language is in Hungarian.

Watching Fatima downloaded with Video Downloader, the audio language is English.

Can a setting please be added to select which language(s) to download? If not, can the language that is heard on YouTube be the language that is downloaded?

The languages could saved as separate audio tracks. Then an audio track could be selected with the VLC menu bar, Audio, Audio Track:

   Disable
   Track 1 - [English]
*  Track 2 - [magyar]

Seems to be a problem with yt-dlp. Maybe open an issue there.

The audio formats 256, 380, 328 and 258 are English, the others are not (258 is chosen because it has the best quality).
No information is given about the language.
I don't know where they are coming from, I can't select a different language on the website.

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

[pukkandan]

yt-dlp does extract audio language when Youtube provides that info. But with this video, Youtube doesn't - you can see that there is no audio selection option in the website. All you can do is manually test the formats and select the one with the language u want

[pukkandan]

For reference, here's a video that actually provides language info https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaOKSUlf4TM

There is nothing we can do for this
