How to Stop YouTube’s Automatic Translations Ruining Your Content

Frustrated with YouTube’s Auto-Translations? Here’s the Fix!

YouTube is great, but sometimes it messes up. Like when it auto-translates your video titles, descriptions, or even audio without asking. Let’s fix that.

Imagine spending hours crafting the perfect video title. Then, YouTube swaps it with a clunky translation that doesn’t even make sense. It’s frustrating for creators and confusing for viewers. Here’s what one Reddit user shared:

“YouTube’s AI replaced my carefully written title with an auto-translated file name. It ruined my content and misled my audience.”

This isn’t just a small hiccup—it can hurt your reach and misrepresent your work.

Steps to Turn Off YouTube’s Automatic Translations

Here’s how you can take back control:

  1. Search for “YouTube No Translation” on GitHub or your browser’s extension store (Chrome/Firefox).
  2. Click “Add to Browser” and follow the prompts.
  3. Once installed, it runs automatically in the background—no extra steps needed.
  4. Open YouTube, check your videos, and confirm your original titles and descriptions are intact.

The extension blocks YouTube’s auto-translation feature from overriding your content. Simple as that. No more weird translations or mismatched titles!

You don’t have to let YouTube’s AI mess with your hard work. A simple browser extension can save you from this headache and let you focus on creating content that connects with your audience—just as you intended.
