My question is: how to get filenames in correct language when I try download this multi-language playlist above via youtube-dl?

This playlist has multiple language title, it means when I change my default language as zh_cn in google account settings, all titles and descriptions of all videos of this playlist will be all in Simplified Chinese, otherwise it will be English.
When I used youtube-dl to download all videos in this playlist, all titles could only be English. I tried to add login-in in config file or use cookie exported from Chrome, but nothing changed.

Thank all of you.

Looks similar to #10758

Well, my Google account uses "English (Hong Kong)", and I got Chinese playlist titles:

@yan12125 This playlist title is in Chinese, but the video names are in Multi-languages.
I tried again just minutes ago, all filenames now become Chinese, while with the same settings, they were English hours ago. So my problem looks like has been solved...
So funny.
I don't know should this issue be closed or still be kept open.

Just tried again and filenames are still English for me. Anyway this issue is the same as #10758, so closing
