feature request: youtube video in other language

[sinecode59]

🚀 The feature

Being able to use the "youtube_video" format in other language like for example 'French'. Today is not working when you put the link of a french youtube video. Maybe there is a way to define the target language for youtube audio transcription (using Langchain behind) but I've not found any mention about this in the documentation.

Motivation, pitch

Be able to use the 'youtube_video' option with youtube video links not in English (by default)

So you want it to be in a language that's not actually spoken in the video, you want to be able to choose from one of the available subtitles. Do I understand that correctly?

@cachho currently only en language is supported. YoutubeLoader.from_youtube_url() allows passing additional parameters (e.g., language), which currently YoutubeVideoLoader.load_data() doesn't pass, thus .from_youtube_url() defaults to en.
