Kurzgesagt has a German and a English channel thanks to youtube I never know which one it is before checking the vid
The channel names are different. How can you not tell?

You and the creator of this extension are saints! Was a bit confused as to why the site was in Portuguese at first though lol
Anyways, thanks a lot!
Oh, I removed all the section data from the URL, but I didn't notice the locale.

I thankfully haven't encountered the translated titles thing in a long time (I think I remember noticing YT music would translate the titles of JP songs I was listening to like, 5-6 years ago???), but the AI audio dubs fucking KILL me. Especially since I use ReVanced on my phone, which means that I have to have stream spoofing on for videos to even play, but that also means I can't force the original audio, so I quite literally can't watch some videos in their original language on my phone unless I pull it up on Invidious.
Newpipe and Pipepipe seemed to have a stroke on my devices when I tried to use them (FreeTube is good about 80% of the days, but I really only use it on my laptop), so praying the browser Invidious is working is literally my only option in that case.
I am TRYING to learn a language Google, so please don't force a shitty AI dub on a video that quite literally says "Japanese Listening Practice" 🤬

The way some websites just guess your language via IP geolocation infuriates me.
God, so fucking annoying.
I am from Eastern EU, recently moved to Germany, but traveling often to the Nordics for work. All my devices are set to English, but these LoCaLiZeD websites don’t seem to fucking mind, and I get web pages in some forsaken local language I don’t understand.
If all the fucking tech in the world would just stop gathering all my data to try to guess what I want, and just do exactly what I tell them do, I would be so happy.

Love that Newpipe actually allows me to deactivate the audio translation globally.

I hate these auto translations with a vengeance. I don't care if its English or my native language. Most of the time, I don't even notice which it is. Except when the audio of a channel I know suddenly is a desinterested robot voice.
wrote last edited by [email protected]As a Swede, we speak English incredibly well on average and automatic translations are very obvious (they can't adapt expressions as well as human translators can, etc). It's very annoying when automatic translations are forced on or the default.

Usually when an unpleasant, inconvenient, non-optional 'feature' like this comes out, it's at least obvious how that'd generate the culprit company more profits. But with this one, Im genuinely befuddled as to how it benefits YouTube shareholders. Anyone have a guess?

Well. There are no YouTube shareholders anymore. It’s Alphabet shareholders. But I get what you’re saying. From my experience at YouTube. I would say a 20 something year old UI designer. Was too busy planning her trip to Tahoe for the weekend. And didn’t really care about how this ended up. Because Dan was going to be at the Air BnB.
This is a literal conversation I’ve over heard at YT HQ once. No one there is really aware of the actual users of the service. They are usually sorority chicks. Pushing UI changes that the devs on the 3rd floor just follow the Jira ticket that was submitted.

I fucking hate autotranslated titles!
I only watch YouTube videos in English but my native language is different. All the fucking videos have fucking ai translated titles that don't even make sense . And all the jokes are lost
And the automatic dubs sound horrible. People actually listen to those?
Now even ads for booking.com use the horrible ai voices. It's a 10 seconds ad and their revenue for 2024 was 24 fucking BILLIONS. CAN YOU GO TO FIVERR TO HIRE A NATIVE SPEAKER FOR $5 AND NOT RAPE MY EARS???

It's so dumb, random video titles are translated into Polish and it just makes them worse

That's what you get by allowing a US site to get a world-wide monopoly....
I'll just leave this here:

Ah nice one, thanks. I wish it worked for mobile too.

I don't mind them using that to guess, but the #1 thing a website should do when you first start using it is to allow you to select a language, and then to remember that language.
It's extremely irritating when they use GeoIP to guess your language and then require you to know the guessed language to know where to find the settings and how to change the settings back to English, or whatever other language you prefer.
As an aside, this is how I know that Google and Facebook are lying about having a "mind control ray" that knows you so well that they show you extremely targeted ads that you will always click on. Bitch, if you can't even figure out the languages I understand, you know nothing about me.

trying to learn a language
Youre nit supposed to do that.

But I don't think any frontend allows you to disable those shitty machine translated titles. Like what the fuck is this?:

And then there's IGN, who blocks you from even accessing English articles and redirects you to their local website.

I vividly hate these features. I use this service to help me with other languages, now they try to translate everything to me as if I'm a toddler. It makes things very hard to enjoy. Besides the ao voice sucks. Good thing i use newpipe now, and i can choose which audio track to play.

I think it is marketing for Google AI and - as most things AI these days - a space reservation to prevent any competitor to come with a browser plugin that would add this feature without using Google. AI has to pee on everything to mark its masters territory.
