I am downloading only the captions files for videos from YouTube.
Using the flag --write-auto-sub results in the automatically translated English captions being downloaded, not the original automatic captions file. Example: This video is in Russian, and the automatically-generated captions are in Russian. The following command retrieves automatically-translated English captions.
I can't define the language of the captions I want to download because I am working with a large number of videos and can't manually check the language of each video before I get its captions.
Is there a way to get the original captions? If not, this would be a good feature.
