There is a simple fix to disable auto dubbing.

Go into your Google account settings, under General, then add any languages that you watch YouTube videos in. I did this for Spanish and all my Spanish videos stopped getting dubs and translated titles.

What about video titles themselves? It's very annoying.

Didn't work for me, at least instantly. Maybe it takes a while to process through their services. No idea

Err, from a quick check, this might actually work. Thanks I guess, but how come this isn't an easy option in the YouTube UI?!

Doesn't always work, I irregularly get autodubbing on certain creators, like Mark Robber

This only works if you login to YouTube, something I will never do.

They still track you? Is there much of a difference? Get an account you only use for YT, I can't imagine the difference in data leaking will be that much greater if they track you just by IP/other fingerprinting vs a session?

You would need a Google account and that requires another mobile phone number burned.

You used to be able to make a google account without a phone number through Android TV. Not sure if that still works.

Google requires a phone number?

Only if you use a bad / risky ip or browser.

What's a bad browser?

Thanks, I went there and added spanish since google and youtube were auto translating some stuff for me lately out of nowhere and I saw that there was a language already added for me by google, Uzbek. WTF?
