If i find a video on YouTube that only has CC in my target language, importing it works just fine. However, if the video has options for captions in English as well, the import defaults to English. I have tried this on several videos and it’s the same for each one: I’m watching it with Greek on YouTube, import it to lingq, and now it’s in English. I don’t know if this is an issue with the import feature or just something I need to adjust in the YouTube settings, but I’m having no luck finding a solution so far. I’ve changed the YouTube app language to Greek, the default subtitle language to Greek, made sure that it’s showing Greek subtitles when i copy the link, and yet, lingq makes an English lesson out of it.

That issue should be fixed. Are you importing via app or web?

Importing on the app. I can’t get the importer browser extension to work and it appears to be mandatory, so the app is the only way I can import at the moment.

Why are you unable to import via browser extension? What browser are you using and did you update the extension to the latest version?

I’ve been doing everything through the app until you asked how I was attempting to import lessons. After taking a few minutes with the computer, the browser extension is working fine and it did import a lesson correctly. It would be nice to have this working on my tablet, but it’s an issue for a fairly small amount of videos and I do at least have a workaround, so it’s not a big deal.

Thanks, we’ll check what’s going on on the app version.

came to report the same issue. It is happening on my ipad version @zoran, This evening I will check in the browser extension. If that works I’d be already happy.
Subtitles are working though.
@marchiori Do you have that issue with any video you import?
not really, is the first time I am importing videos with multiple subtitles and multiple languages.
The script is working properly, just the video that doesn’t play in the target language and is still in English.
It happens both in the ipad as in the web browser on my pc.
This one for instance
target language is Dutch. It is a playlist with multiple episodes, I tested with some of them, same behaviour.
Our importer actually grabs the subtitles and import them to study language you choose, however it doesn’t automatically adjust the video audio language, that’s not posisble.
ok, got it. Thx for the info

If you play the video from youtube, you have the settings wheel that allows you to select the audio language. At least that is in the web version with the big version of the youtube player so.
