2 years ago Not sure if we can do anything about this.
YT allows creators to set alternative titles and description to be displayed based on the end user locale.
So If ur IP-address show the location of ur country it will still get translated even if ur language settings are in English
Do u have examples of videos where this issue persists?

Problem Description
Sometimes Youtube will show titles of videos translated into what it thinks is my language. I believe this can either be with Google Translate or the video uploader can provide the translation themselves. In either case, the translation can be undesirable if you understand the language and want to see the original title of the video, which will still be in the HTML page title but nowhere else. I believe it's impossible to disable this misfeature on Youtube itself.
Proposed Solution
It would be great to disable the translations and see all video titles with their original language.
Alternatives Considered
I've tried changing the Freetube language to the original language of the video title and this doesn't seem to be enough to see the original, it continues to show me the English translations instead.
