Can't export subtitles on YouTube

Hi hi, I’m trying to export subtitles from the following video. https://youtu.be/OrfuoR2P4qw?si=wColPdiDkF7DXEI_ It’s in Korean (with auto-generated Korean subtitles). I want to export just the English translations, (preferably as an .srt file) but I get this error

I’m on a Macbook Air using Chrome. Any help would be sooo appreciated! :blush:

I am not sure why you got that error. Could you describe what steps you used when you tried to download the subtitles?

Otherwise you could try to use a third party tool to get subtitles. There are many different if you search on google for download subtitles youtube.

downsub.com for example. Use the link below. Click on the pencil icon to change language from korean to english and then it should be possible to download the subitle.

Hello @smalljude! This is most likely due to the error “Failed to retrieve linguistic data.” This will be fixed shortly. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for such a quick reply! (and sorry for my late one!). From another reply it sounds like a bug that is going to be fixed shortly.

I had tried the Downsub auto translate but it errored out with this video (and others from the same account). I will keep trying though! Thanks for you help :blush:
