Add --write-sub besides --sub-lang.

One more option. For example:

youtube-dl.exe --write-sub --sub-lang en,cn-TW --skip-download https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSQNi5sAwuc&gl=CA

The option --skip-download skips downloading videos while other assets (subtitles, thumbnails, etc.) are still downloaded.

Oh seems you need to enclose the URL with double quotes. See https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl#video-url-contains-an-ampersand-and-im-getting-some-strange-output-1-2839-or-v-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command.
