YouTube No Translation
A web browser extension that keeps your YouTube experience authentic by preventing automatic translations.
Features:
- Video Titles: Keep titles in their original language (Video titles, Shorts, Notifications...)
- Audio Tracks: Always use the original audio track (or choose a specific one)
- Descriptions: Prevent automatic translation of videos descriptions
- Thumbnails: Restore original thumbnails
- Subtitles: Set your preferred subtitle language, if unavailable, subtitles are disabled (auto generated ones are ignored)
