3 years ago I googled the artifact "cJjqth04G1Q" and the music you are trying to download was the first result. Doesn't appear on the page though with ctrl+f. You are not using an output template.
The default template is '%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s'. I used youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcRmrvAR4VMKRJ8ZBPiS0jlp9fRKQPprS and the artifact is gone. It must be related to the ID.
Translated too!

I'm not sure, but at least extracting title with direct URL did result in non-translated title.
My context about this issue is that I was trying to do some work with YoutubeDL's output including filename, but downloaded filenames were different if a playlist contains translated filename.
My workaround is to use --flat-playlist option when requesting playlist information, build URL for every item from the result, re-request them as a direct URL rather than playlist URL.
For example, (youtube-dl, jq required)
#!/bin/bash
playlist="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=a-playlist-id"
ids=$(youtube-dl --dump-json --flat-playlist ${playlist} | jq -s -r 'map(.)[].url')
readarray -t <<< "${ids}"
for id in "${MAPFILE[@]}"
do
youtube-dl --get-title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=${id}
donereplace playlist variable and run it, you can get non-translated title. Tested with YoutubeDL 2021.01.16

Description
I know there's some issues citing auto translated video title, but this is a little bit different.
I tried to download this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJjqth04G1Q
Downloading it by its URL is working well. Title is not translated and it's good. But downloading a playlist including that video results in translated title. This error makes some of YoutubeDL's feature inconsistent.
Different results on same resources
