I tried it with a Russian YT video and it did not work:

Starting process... Processing URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtkgT6R2HtA Error: Failed to get transcript: Could not retrieve a transcript for the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtkgT6R2HtA! This is most likely caused by:

No transcripts were found for any of the requested language codes: ['en']

For this video (MtkgT6R2HtA) transcripts are available in the following languages:

(MANUALLY CREATED) None

(GENERATED) - ru ("Russian (auto-generated)")[TRANSLATABLE]

(TRANSLATION LANGUAGES) - en ("English")

If you are sure that the described cause is not responsible for this error and that a transcript should be retrievable, please create an issue at https://github.com/jdepoix/youtube-transcript-api/issues. Please add which version of youtube_transcript_api you are using and provide the information needed to replicate the error. Also make sure that there are no open issues which already describe your problem! --- End of summary ---

Hey just to follow up youtube videos like the above will now work. I tested with that video and few others. Let me know if you have any other issues and thanks for the great feedback on the project!
That's great feedback, I'm working on a fix now
