    My current problem with Google (and a problem that I never thought I would have wtfuck) is when I watch some YouTube videos in French the AI auto translates the goddamn audio to English. I don’t want an AI audio translation of the fucking audio and there is no way to set the default not to do that. I have to manually go into the video EVERY TIME IT DOES IT to put it back to the original sound. It’ll create new audio but I can’t get half the videos to show the in language subtitles for non-english videos. SO DUMB.

      This is one of the stupidest “features” in the history of computing. It’s like google doesn’t believe in bilingual people. “If you speak English, there’s no way you could also understand French!”

      If you’re watching on mobile, YouTube Morphe has the option to disable the audio translation. You can even make a dedicated button for it in the player in case it gets toggled on again. The app also blocks ads and has SponsorBlock, DeArrow, and an AI slop filter built right in.

      YouTube does not autotranslate for any language which is set in your Google profile. It’s hidden as hell, but for me adding e.g. English there made all the English videos not being ai translated anymore.
