@sigma67 commented on GitHub (Jun 8, 2020):

Hey, the language is currently fixed to English and specified in the library's context.json (hl variable).

Supporting multiple languages will require some significant testing, as some string parsing may break due to different encodings. For example, I tested get_playlist with hl='de' and it required adding unicodedata.normalize to the function. Feel free to experiment with different languages (i.e. korean) and let me know what you find.
