YouTube Anti Translate by Petr

Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 18767885, 2 years 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Other addons or scripts have already been created but are no longer maintained and does not work anymore.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 1 out of 5by Devin Rozsas, 4 days agoIt hasn't been working for quite a while now.
Last update was one year ago, so it's probably abandoned. - Rated 2 out of 5by Dog, 13 days ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by crashkid, 13 days agoworks on mainscreen, sidebars and encards still needlessly translate to systemlanguage.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Hieu T., 19 days agoIt just doesn´t work. English titles still get auto translated into german at the home screen. Only when you click on the vid the translation is gone.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Pathakin, 24 days agosadly only works whilst youre watching a video, not on the video lists in channels or feeds. rather useless if you want to see the original titles everywhere, and pretty good if youre just curious about them. still annoying though.
oh and for some reason it duplicates the channel name on youtube.com/watch. - Rated 2 out of 5by wheatberry, 24 days ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by isa, 5 months agoIt worked perfectly for me and was THE most useful youtube add-on to have. But today it stopped working. I genuinely don't know how I'll continue to use youtube without it, because, as someone who speaks more than one language, having to choose between seeing the videos in my native language translated to english or seeing the videos in english translated to my native language is hellish. I'm so thankful for this extension and I really hope it starts working again.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Lycas, 6 months agoMost of the time it works but sometimes it causes the channel name to bounce around like crazy.
