I have the same problem. The video I need a transcription on is in English. Okay the video contains a few words or sentences in Danish, but the video is mainly in English, and I really only need transcriptions of the English language in the video, and unfortunately 'transcription' translates everything to Danish... I am based in the Faroe Islands. I NEED transcriptions in English and the video is in English!... WHY would it translate to Danish?

    Okay, now it transcripts in English... Okay, some parts are in Danish and some parts in English, and unfortunately it translates... So I have no way of knowing what part of the video is in Danish and what part is in English, although the video is mostly in English. It's just not useful to me when I am looking at English as a classroom language in Danish schools and writing a project on Second and Foreign Language Acquisition... Is there anything I can do to stop it from translating?
