    Add to that the not deselectable auto-translation Youtube is doing.

    I hate it so much.
    Recently even many audio-tracks are soulless Al voices instead of the original track.
    I am bilingual, you pea-brained video-platform-software!

        You mean Newpipe?
        Doesn’t make it better. … Sure, I can at least set my standard language to English at least.
        But now it will translate the German videos instead…
        Or am I missing a setting?

      This pisses my partner off. She became quite fluent in English over the past few years, but the headlines and descriptions all get auto-translated to German anyways. Unlike every other platform, there is no “Never translate language XYZ”-option, which Google Translate OTOH does offer.

      And just swapping her account language to English UK or so doesn’t help: Then German videos get translated. Same problem in reverse. Seems the Google managers are unable to imagine someone speaking 2+ languages…
