This. And it's so annoying that you can't disable these garabage AI translations wether it's these dubbed shorts or all the video titles. Only option is to change your language to english but then they would probably translate the stuff from your native language into english lmao
It doesn't solve the problem tho, because now it tries to translate videos in your native language into english. You can't win and this forced shit needs to go.
O hate it when youtube translates my Polish titles into English (at least it's less cringe then the opposite) but at least on pc you there is a browser extension that disables it
I'm a native French speaker, but I prefer to set my YT English, since I mostly watch English content. At least you can still deactivate the HORRIBLE auto-dubs, but titles and bios are still getting translated, which is annoying. There should be a bilingual option.
Nah, it's an absolute mess. I have English set, as my main language.
Some video titles get translated, others don't (I don't want any translation, but that's not an option). Some shorts get auto-dubbed without the option to turn it off, others don't. At least I can turn off the auto-translation with regular videos, but why don't they just give me the option to translate, instead of making the decision for me.
Also Youtube always forces one video, in a random language on my frontpage, to really push this "feature".
The forced auto-translation is the worst feature, they ever added. Even if I would speak only one language, I just don't see how this could appeal to me.
Yep, same problem here. I have everything in English and YouTube is AI-dubbing my native language videos even if my browser clearly lists my native language as second preferred. Piece of shit. At least they mostly rolled back that recent horrible UI change (you still can't scroll down while in full screen).
I speak both French and English fluently, yet YT seems to often auto dub English to French, and french to English. Just give me the original dammit, is that so hard?
Yeah, this week I changed the main language to english and then the videos on my native language started getting the crappy ai auto dub. It's a lose-lose situation. The best choice is setting the main language as the one you mainly consume
my native language is Slovak, but Im also fluent in Czech, English and Polish. And it understood the first two no problem, but for some reason it will never recommend me any polish video if currently watching something non-polish and the other way around. And its only Polish too, it will swap between Czech, Slovak and English between videos no problem
I'm mostly watching YouTube in English, but I fluently speak other 4 languages and when I want to watch the video in any of those languages, YouTube forces it's AI shitty translation upon me. But, when it's Japanese, German, languages I don't speak and wouldn't mind having at least translated captions - it's all in original language, captions included!
I stopped watching some channels because of that, that annoying AI voice that for some reason cannot be disabled fully ruining the original video tone and speed because it cannot match the delivery.
That's the main problem, the fucking AI translation, it is just horrible. There are some good translations, like the ones Glitch does to its series, but holy fuck, those channels that uses automatic translation, I think they're just scaring away the people that speaks those languages, because, WOW, it is so trash, I can't say enough how shit it is.

I feel like its the opposite. Youtube forces native language automaticly with crappy ai dubs while I want it in original english.
