One more option. For example:

youtube-dl.exe --write-sub --sub-lang en,cn-TW --skip-download https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSQNi5sAwuc&gl=CA

The option --skip-download skips downloading videos while other assets (subtitles, thumbnails, etc.) are still downloaded.

When command executes until downloading the subtitle,it stops and prompts
'gl' isn't internal or external command ……

Could you post the full log, including your command?

Oh seems you need to enclose the URL with double quotes. See https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl#video-url-contains-an-ampersand-and-im-getting-some-strange-output-1-2839-or-v-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command.
