Disable automatic translation

Open vchalmel opened this issue 11 months ago • 3 comments

PROBLEM: Youtube is aggressively pushing shitty automatic translations

  • Video titles on every page might be translated from original language to local language, this cannot be opted out of.
  • Automatic AI translation voice over seems to be more and more activate by default.

SOLUTION:
An option forcing every youtube content to be displayed in its original language / reversing automatic tanslations

Thank you!

btw: this has been mentioned here a few times (proves relevance.) (and i wonder how to make the most out of it, as your effort is rare & precious, so) our bug report-form template currently sais:
" Before submitting: Thanks for coming & caring! Sometime even 3 words are enough of a bug report. Just --> please check, if the issue has already been reported ever. (If so, that might inspires you to add different/better words to that report.) GitHub's issue search (use the link or remove "is:issue is:open" from the search) " Yet not sure if it makes sense. (=Would you have liked to read this too? at the start of the template? Shorter & funnier?)

This was fixed in both #2975 and #2957

@vchalmel, please test, and if it is fixed, close the issue.
