Request: Have video titles and descriptions in the default content language where available

Open hardhead-roulette opened this issue 6 years ago • 7 comments

The titles and descriptions for YouTube videos are not always in the language selected as the default content language, even where available. An example is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UDD_yw-LLw. On the YouTube website the title and description will display in English/Japanese depending on the language selected. On NewPipe the title will be in Japanese and the description in English, regardless of whether English or Japanese is selected as the default content language.

I've also noticed that when Japanese is selected in NewPipe, the titles displayed in the What's New screen and for recommended videos will still be in English when a translated title exists.

I've tried changing the default content country and my system language but this doesn't seem to have had an effect. My issue seems to be similar to the one in https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/1513, but it was closed a while ago and the behaviour persists for me.

Thanks in advance for your help, and apologies if this is a duplicate request.

Strange, this should have been fixed by TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#114

How to reproduce:

Put content language to German, and go on Francetv slash channel. You'll see videos in French (original language), and some videos in English (they are the ones translated, we should NOT have this), but no videos in german. Also, go on a translated video, and you'll see the description is in English, neither French (original language) nor German (selected language).

The reasons why:

The content language selector in settings is totally useless right now. English is forced when making request, therefore we get english content. @Stypox.

I'll try to fix

@B0pol What's the status with this?

Everything is done except done except one thing I'm still stuck on: parsing subscriber count, e.g. "100K subscribers" in english, but "100 k abonnés" in french. I wanted once to support few languages but I didn't have time to look again into this issue

Content localization setting is still broken (0.20.10), content is displayed in English. See my #5572 (closed as duplicate) for more examples.
