This is one of the most annoying things in the recent internet! I guess the most convenient option would be to just ask me for the languages I understand, and only auto translate everything else.
Not even that. I’m logged in. I watch a lot of YouTube in English and my mother tongue. YouTube knows this. YouTube also knows I turn off subtitles/translation when they auto turn them on. Why the fuck can’t they just see what I’m doing and serve me shit untranslated in the two languages they definitely know I speak? They can’t tell me they don’t have that data. They’re fucking YouTube/Google

The most convenient option would be to just not do it without an explicit opt-in.
You know how most browsers offer to do it.

The most logical option would be to stop fucking auto translations.
i wonder why they don’t just do it like they do subtitles, letting you change the audio track (between original and a few translated ones)
i know they can (or could?) do this for videos with manual translations, why not the automatic ones as well?
