Description
The translated_subs argument introduced in version 2022.04.08 only works in some cases.
yt-dlp works as intended in this example:
yt-dlp --ignore-config --write-subs --write-auto-subs --sub-langs all --extractor-args "youtube:skip=translated_subs" "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2kS1gAbxhc"
It downloads 26 subtitles, skipping all the auto-translated ones.
But it doesn't work for this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOXCLR3Wric
