Hi @lionderful,

I am not sure whether I am understanding the issue correctly. Is it that for Z1ryOwW0AdU you don't get any translation languages or that you are missing a specific language?

For me I get the following for Z1ryOwW0AdU

>>> youtube_transcript_api Z1ryOwW0AdU --list

For this video (Z1ryOwW0AdU) transcripts are available in the following languages:

(MANUALLY CREATED)

thanks, my freind, Z1ryOwW0AdU works now.

however, for '7AVAPcvU-ig', only - en ("English") found in (TRANSLATION LANGUAGES) using youtube_transcript_api.

when we play this video in chrome, we can find a full list transcripts in Subtitles/CC ->Auto-translate.

Could we get those full list of Auto-translate subtitles? I am interested in 'zh-Hans Chinese (Simplified)'. but zh-Hant ("Chinese (Traditional)") found using youtube_transcript_api in the case 'Z1ryOwW0AdU'
