posted 11 hours agoI know. Neither does the original Chrome version. It used to handle the description too, but it required a full reload of the page for technical reasons (otherwise had old data). So I decided to remove it.- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18767885, 21 hours agoSorry, I didn't keep my login details, I am 18763788. I'm sometimes a little overzealous about privacy and creating accounts...
Also sorry about my english, I'm belgian, speaking french.
I watch a lot of english content and YES, YouTube force translated (dubbed) audio along titles and descriptions! Those fake AI voices are nightmare.
Having the choice to turn this on is not bad. But in fact, we have to turn this off on EACH video. We feel cheated by the translated titles and taken for idiots with the dubbing.
So, you speak english but if your account language is different, or maybe because of your location, the nightmare begins...
I'm exaggerating a bit, but I read comments from people who don't understand what's going on. (firefox, reddit, google, ...)
I'm looking for a serious solution almost every day, and the number of dissatisfied people is growing more and more.
Again, maybe I am overzealous but I prefer to trust one single addon. Especially if the source code is available. (currently, I'm just testing in a sandbox... you can call me paranoid ^^)
Other addons or scripts have already been created but are no longer maintained and does not work anymore.
I believe that a complete addon can become popular, if Youtube does not listen to its frustrated users. This may motivate to keep it up...
Here is the currently working addon:
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/original-youtube-audio/
There may be some interesting information in the comments. I'll keep my login details to answer you, if needed!
Have a great 2025! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18763788, 4 days agoCurrently working!
I created this account to tell you thanks for this add on.
Keep up the good work!
(Is an add-on that would do this + set the original audio track - like "Original YouTube Audio" is possible?)Developer response
posted 3 days agoThanks for the review!
It's an interesting idea, I'll look into it. Could you please attach a link to the extension you're talking about?
If that extension doesn't exist on Firefox, I may port it (provided that the license is right)
Why would bundling the addons together help? Does YouTube force translated audio along titles to you? - Rated 4 out of 5by Creisi, 14 days agoDoes just as it says, it would be cool to have the options to enable or disable auto-translation for specific languages, because i can understand English but not Russian or Japanese.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Demerion, 25 days agoWorks great!
If anyone knows about an addon that does the same for the video description, please let me know - Rated 5 out of 5by peido, a month agoIf I'm not mistaken, version 1.5.14 of Petr's extension contains the same fixes present on version 1.2.0.0 of NetStranger's extension (Youtube Anti Translate Updated). Thanks.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Boeser Waldgeist, a month agoAfter the last update it doesn't work properly. Block in "Mouse over text" and in the sidepanel no longer works.

posted a month agoHi thanks for telling me, I'd like to investigate this more. Could you please file a bug with this report on my Github (https://github.com/artisticfox8/yt-anti-translate)? Please also add which addons you're using, which version of Firefox are you on :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by lerokko, 2 months agoThank you so much. YouTubes sheer inability to fix this issue after 5 years (!) is outright despicable. I want to use my computer in one language but I do not need bad translation of other languages I natively understand... You saved me from physical cringe in the future!

- Rated 5 out of 5by coachlazy, 5 months agoWith the second most recent update there was an issue causing tabs to crash, but this latest update fixes that. The extension works perfectly now.
- Rated 5 out of 5by AdSpeedupDoesntWork, 5 months agoThe fact this addon even exists show the utter BS behind YouTube's useless features and how you can't "legally" disable this crap
- Rated 3 out of 5by JSG, 6 months agoSince the 1.5.14 update the add-on slows down Firefox to a halt on some occasions, prompting the browser to ask you to disable the add-on.

posted 6 months agoHi, thanks for the fix! I reviewed it and merged it in my code, it should all work now :) Please test release 1.5.14 on https://github.com/artisticfox8/yt-anti-translate. If something doesn't work there, feel free to file a bug. - Rated 5 out of 5by wormy, 6 months agoThere's a bug right now where it's causing youtube titles in the tab to endlessly repeat themselves and then making the previews disappear from tabs on the taskbar too. It's really handy when it's working though..
Edit: It appears to be fixed now 🖤 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18346451, 7 months ago
