Having actually done video transcription for a few years now, I was always outright told not to translate or even transcribe, even if I knew what they were saying. Which always seemed silly to me, because it applied to even common foreign phrases, but... whatever, they were paying me.
So for something like this, I'd just put [SPEAKING CHINESE] and just wait for someone in the video to speak English again. (If the whole video is in a foreign language, then I just send it back with a note)
That said... what happened here is next-level pettiness, and it's beautiful.
