You can probably rip them via chrome, just search for .vtt

No, you can't.
ful_1_text.srt

So anyway, long story short, I couldn't get ytdlp to download.
I went the manual way.

These are all the links for the subtitles and I used curl to download them

Excellent, thanks. A lot easier than my way.

They used to have there subtitles as sami so you would just have to search sami in your browser. But that has change

[jessezveneberg]

never mind, I figured it out, I need to add en to the script. Thank you very much!!! You've been a great help!

[Bonde]

Replace

--sub-langs "da, fi, no, sv,"

with

--sub-langs "da, en, fi, no, sv,"

should work

you can also add
ru = russian
pl = polish
nl = Nederlands
is = icelandic
and so on

Edit: i was too slow
