Describe the feature you want

If you open the Youtube website, there is an option to auto translate captions to your preffered language.
However, as far as I can tell, there is no such option available on android or on m.youtube.com
If it can be implemented, it will be great.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it

Some videos are in foreign language. I wanted to translate the subtitles to English for them.

Additional context

How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?

Language support always helps!

I think implementing something like this in NewPipe would be too broad

[ephestione]

Hello, I think allowing for translation of auto generated captions would make a lot of useful content (in German, French, Russian, you name it) available to everyone.
Still, since this is not present in mobile YouTube I have no idea how work intensive the function could be for the developers.

Any update on this? I don't understand why @mhmdanas marked this feature request as completed when it's not done.

[triallax]

Ignore the misleading "as completed" thing in GitHub's UI (which wasn't even a thing that existed when I closed this issue), I closed this because I (and @Stypox) believed it's out of scope for NewPipe.

[Pheggas]

How could it be out of scope when it's normal feature in the YouTube UI? I thought you want to move the NewPipe forward consistently.

[Stypox]

Yeah now that YouTube provides auto-translated subtitles themselves, this can be done, see TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#997

Thank you for reopening. Looking forward for this feature in NewPipe!
