 * Hi, It tried to embed a video along with its transcript, but this doesn’t seem
   to work at all.
 * The code I used was:
 * [youtube]complete URL of the video[/youtube]
    [transcript]youtube video ID[/transcript]
 * The video is shown in my WordPress post but the transcript is completely ignored(
   the video has a transcript on youtube however).
 * Am I making any mistake or doesn’t this command work? Will the transcript be 
   linked to the video and thus advance (highlight and scoll) together?
 * Thanks…

 * Can you give me the ID and I’ll check it?
 * Also, can you give me a URL of where you’ve added the transcript shortcode and
   it’s not worked?

 * That’s the video ID: XXXXXXXXX
    And here’s the link: XXXXXXXXX
 * Thanks a lot.

 * I can see the problem – the URL I use assumes the English transcript, which there
   isn’t one for. A bit of an ommision on my part.
 * I’ll add the option to specify the language in the next release of the plugin.
 * If this is the only transcript you’re using and want to fix it in the meantime
   then in the plugin’ folder open up the file includes/aye-generate-transcript.
   code-php and find the line…
 * `$return = aye_get_file( 'http://video.google.com/timedtext?lang=en&v=' . $id);`
 * Replace lang=en with whichever language you wish.

 * Hmmmm… I replaced lang=en with lang=de for german but it doesn’t seem to work:-/

 * That’s probably the cache – the default, I believe, for transcripts is 24 hours.
   You can adjust this in the YouTube Embed Options screen.

 * Will I have to wait at least 1 hour, then? I tried to empty the cache but it 
   didn’t help. Now I set all values to 1 hour…

 * Oh I noticed now that putting the transcript cache to zero works! But the transcript
   is added as text only and isn’t interacting with the video. Is this normal?

 * Yes, that’s all it does. YouTube simply returns the script.

 * We have now added the ability to specify a language for the transcript in version
   3.1
