How to change youtube display language without cookies?

$site = file_get_contents("https://www.youtube.com/@PewDiePie");

I'm pulling data from youtube with file_get_contents. but since the language setting and IP address of my hosting service are Turkey, when I use file_get_contents, a Turkish page appears.

How can I view the content in English?

Solution

  • Just use hl in your URL's query string.

    In below example I used hl=en for English language!\

    The persist_hl=1 is for preserving language after redirection!

    $site = file_get_contents("https://www.youtube.com/@PewDiePie?hl=en&persist_hl=1");
