    I vividly hate these features. I use this service to help me with other languages, now they try to translate everything to me as if I’m a toddler. It makes things very hard to enjoy. Besides the ao voice sucks. Good thing i use newpipe now, and i can choose which audio track to play.

    FUCK THIS IS THE WORST

    MY DEVICE IS SET TO SPANISH. THERE IS NO WORLD WHERE I WANT TO LISTEN TO A SPANISH LANGUAGE VIDEO IN ENGLISH WITH A SHITTY AI VOICE

    Like I’m cool with the option. I’m even cool with it turning on by default according to your account settings.

    BUT WHY IN THE NAME OF FUCK CAN IT NOT BE TURNED OFF???

    The first time it happened I assumed I could just go to the audio track settings because some creators put in multiple tracks with different languages. BUT IT’S NOT THERE.

    I hate these auto translations with a vengeance. I don’t care if its English or my native language. Most of the time, I don’t even notice which it is. Except when the audio of a channel I know suddenly is a desinterested robot voice.

    IT IS SOOOOO ANNOYING! I’M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO MANUALLY CHANGE YOUTUBE’S LANGUAGE SINCE I WATCH VIDEOS IN TWO LANGUAGES LOL WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA?

    The translated titles are ok-ish, I’ve seen some funny mistranslations but most of the time it’s understandable. But the auto-dub is actually unwatchable. Not only is it absolutely terrible both in terms of translation and actual watching experience, you also can’t turn it off? What the hell man…

      The translated video titles are the worst. You never know the language the video will be on, and YT is always translating to some random language without any evidence you can speak it.
