Originally assigned to: @YouG-o on GitHub.
Problem
Current: For subtitle, current, this extension only keep the original manual subtitle would not be automatically translated. "if no manual subtitles are available in your preferred language, auto generated (ASR) subtitles will be used instead, with translation if needed"
But I need to keep the auto generated (ASR) subtitles also as it original, not be automatically translated.
Proposed Solution
Add setting option also allow to keep the original auto generated (ASR) subtitles, same with manual subtitle
Additional Context (Optionnal)
current, my setting is:
Please add setting option like this (which I imagine)
@YouG-o commented on GitHub (Aug 25, 2025):
No need to add a second language selector for Auto generated subtitles from my pov, it use the same as Manual subtitles.
I forgot to select the auto generated subtitles when manual subtitles are not available when original language is selected, my bad. For now, if you have selected 'original' for subtitles language and enabled Auto generated subtitles, it disabled subtitles if no manual track is found (only for "original", it works with a specified language). I just need to fix this, not a big deal.
What is weird is that according to your screenshot, subtitles are translated to japanese while your option is "original" can you try again and confirm this?

YouG-o: "No need to add a second language selector for Auto generated subtitles from my pov, it use the same as Manual subtitles."
tranhungkcn: Yes, I agree it's not necessary. I made imagining picture just to visualize my thinking purpose only.
YouG-o: "For now, if you have selected 'original' for subtitles language and enabled Auto generated subtitles, it disabled subtitles if no manual track is found (only for "original", it works with a specified language). I just need to fix this, not a big deal."
tranhungkcn: do you mean that in future, after you fixed, with the setting as this:
if there's no manual original subtitle, the auto generated subtitles will be showed?
YouG-o: "What is weird is that according to your screenshot, subtitles are translated to japanese while your option is "original" can you try again and confirm this?"
tranhungkcn: Yes, correct
here is my settings:
and the video have no original manual subtitle, and subtitle was disable (by the issue you mentioned above, I guessed), and when I click subtitle to turn it on, English auto generated subtitle is translated to Japanese.
And I'm expecting this case, the original English auto generated subtitle will be showed. This is the main point I hope you can help me to improve
Thanks for your quick respond, and thanks a lot for this very useful extension

Before my fix is what you experienced : With original language selected, if no manual track is found, subtitles are disabled wether Auto Generated is activated or not. I forgot to handle the "original" case. It works if you select a specific language.
With the fix it will handle the "original" case and enable Auto Generated subtitles if no manual track is found.
For the Japanese translation when you enable subtitles, I don't know why. Maybe not because of the extension.

YouG-o: "For the Japanese translation when you enable subtitles, I don't know why. Maybe not because of the extension."
tranhungkcn: No, this is not because of the extension
This is the normal behavior of Youtube without this extension.
When the user enable subtitle, and Youtube will automatically translate the available subtitle (manual subtitle first, then if no manual subtitle, then auto generated subtitle) to the language which user used just before.
I always switch between Japanese subtitle and English subtitle, and quite annoy when I must turn the subtitle back to original every video, and that one thing I hope this extension could help me, keep the original language subtitle, manual subtitle as well as autogenerated subtitle.
Note: I think when you fixed the issue of not showing the autogenerated subtitle when option "subtitle-Original", the problem of autogenerated subtitle is auto translated, this problem will also disappeared. I guess because user manual enable subtitle, so youtube will behave as normal, not under control of extension.
Let's wait and see
