Feature Description

Summary

In version 5.1.0, the auto-translated subtitles option was removed with the justification that "90%+ of users can't use it because YouTube blocks anonymous requests." However, this justification does not apply to users who are logged in to YouTube within PipePipe.

Evidence that the feature works for logged-in users

I have verified on version 5.0.0 that auto-translated subtitles (including Arabic) work correctly when logged in to YouTube. See attached screenshots showing "العربية (المغرب)" available as an auto-translated option.

Proposal

Please consider re-adding the auto-translated subtitles feature with one of these approaches:

1. Preferred: Re-add the toggle in Advanced Settings with a note: "Requires YouTube login"
2. Alternative: Only show auto-translated options when the user is logged in

Why this matters

• For users without native English proficiency, auto-translated subtitles are essential for accessing educational and technical content
• The feature was working perfectly for logged-in users before removal
• Removing a working feature due to anonymous-user limitations is an over-correction

Technical context

The blocking issue (YouTube rejecting anonymous auto-translate requests) is a server-side restriction that does not affect authenticated sessions. The extractor code previously supported this; the removal was a UI/UX decision, not a technical necessity.

Thank you for maintaining PipePipe.

I really supporting this. Please. I really need auto translated subtitles option to be back again. It really helps me understand what people said significantly better like you said. And the feature still works completely fine on 5.0.0 when logged in.

So. Even if not everyone will get benefits from this but I'm so sure that at least by reimplement the feature you will help a lot of people enough to matter. Also that's one of the reasons why I chose PipePipe.
