I'm a native English speaker fluent in Japanese, recently moved to Japan this year. The one that really gets me lately is YouTube now automatically dubbing over content in Japanese that was originally in English. It's... so uncanny. | ||

It's a problem for everyone who speaks >1 language (the majority of the world?) since you can't turn it off. | ||

I'm in a similar situation. I really wish there was a way to stop YouTube from suggesting me auto-dubbed videos. | ||

ThereShouldBeTheQuoteAudioTrackQuoteOptionUnderGearIconMenuAtTheRightBottomCornerOfVideoUserInterfaceAmongWhichEnglishIsOfCourseNearTheBottomOfTheListButNotQuiteTheLastItem but it only applies to that specific video, and yeah, it makes no sense that this passed sniff tests for Google. | ||

Yeah, that is a massive problem. This can't be disabled by the user, only be the channel owner. It's awful. The only solution is switching the YouTube UI language to English, to get the original English audio track. But then, presumably, all other languages would get machine translated into English. There is nothing one can do. | ||
