Sorry, 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Other addons or scripts have already been created but are no longer maintained and does not work anymore.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!

Currently 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?)

It's working good so far. Many thanks!

Works great!
If anyone knows about an addon that does the same for the video description, please let me know

If 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.

Thank 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!

i love you

With the second most recent update there was an issue causing tabs to crash, but this latest update fixes that. The extension works perfectly now.

The fact this addon even exists show the utter BS behind YouTube's useless features and how you can't "legally" disable this crap

Made a temporary fix for the current bug at https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/youtube-anti-translate-updated/
Make sure to disable the original extension

There'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 🖤

Hello, your extension works great but now youtube translates the descriptions as well.

Thanks a lot for your work.

works well

runs perfectly! 完美！
