YouTube tests automatic translation of video titles on desktop and mobile

06 May 2021
So far, the machine translations have only appeared in Portuguese and Turkish.

I really hate what youtube did with the auto-translate.
As I am an avid user of youtube, found it very disturbing.
The first thing that comes to my mind, "I'm not even watching that video", "learn my language better"

Then I realized that it was youtube's fault, not the creator's.
Youtube should be concerned that this feature will reduce the views on the video, shouldn't it?

    I'm Japanese and just say NO.
    Japanese is a one of difficult languege and automatic translations are 100% piece of crap.
    I added a English on my Gmail account and switched YouTube's interface language.
    But tody, ALWAYS TRANSLATED EVEN IN ENGLISH
    AAAAGHH:(

          seen this sometimes when logged out, but it is translating some videos when logged in now too, and it is annoying. Don't mind it on other videos that have titles in other languages
          than English though (f.ex. Japanese). I'm in Norway btw.

            we didn't ask for it, pretty sure not a single soul asked for it, it will just make our lives miserable if there's no way to disable it.

              I have it in French and honestly it is quite annoying... I understand English perfectly I don't need automatic translations... I hope we will be able to disable it for specific languages

                Actually that's quite old. And I've been using this feature since last year.

                      If you are a Windows user just search for IRPStack size. There are many instructions how to add it into registry editor. After adding it restart your computer/laptop. Do it and your internet speed will increase. Websites will open faster.

                        Google translation is for laughs in any language

                          JohnNy L, 06 May 2021Youtube should give us back that video playback setting as ... moreAgree,
                          Yt is becoming more and more annoying and careless to its users

                                  Recent update made adjusting the video quality a bit confusing, also more advertising which happens randomly.

                                    Youtube should give us back that video playback setting as it was there previously in the older version!!

                                      It would be useful if they also transaled voice, written text and slang words as well. Otherwise it looks, sounds and feels weird.

                                        I've had automatic title translations for over a year in German, and I hate it!!! I can't even begin to describe how much I hate it! And there's no way to turn it off. It translates the titles even if you switch YouTube to English...
