YouTube Anti Translate by Petr
Review by Firefox user 18767885
Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 18767885, a year agoSorry, I didn't keep my login details, I am 18763788. I'm sometimes a little overzealous about privacy and creating accounts...
Also sorry about my english, I'm belgian, speaking french.
I watch a lot of english content and YES, YouTube force translated (dubbed) audio along titles and descriptions! Those fake AI voices are nightmare.
Having the choice to turn this on is not bad. But in fact, we have to turn this off on EACH video. We feel cheated by the translated titles and taken for idiots with the dubbing.
So, you speak english but if your account language is different, or maybe because of your location, the nightmare begins...
I'm exaggerating a bit, but I read comments from people who don't understand what's going on. (firefox, reddit, google, ...)
I'm looking for a serious solution almost every day, and the number of dissatisfied people is growing more and more.
Again, maybe I am overzealous but I prefer to trust one single addon. Especially if the source code is available. (currently, I'm just testing in a sandbox... you can call me paranoid ^^)
Other addons or scripts have already been created but are no longer maintained and does not work anymore.
I believe that a complete addon can become popular, if Youtube does not listen to its frustrated users. This may motivate to keep it up...
Here is the currently working addon:
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/original-youtube-audio/
There may be some interesting information in the comments. I'll keep my login details to answer you, if needed!
Have a great 2025!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15538667, 5 days agoExtension d'intérêt public! Youtube n'a pas l'air de considérer l’existence d'êtres multilingues ou souhaitant s'améliorer par la pratique... Un grand merci de faire disparaitre ces horribles traductions imposées.

- Rated 5 out of 5by CruzDeSangre, 3 months agoYoutube shouldn't be allowed to force us install extensions so their site is actually bearable. Thanks a lot for the extension.
- Rated 5 out of 5by aki.senkinn, 3 months agoI hate that I need this, my system is in english, my browser is in english, my google account is in english, my activity and history is all english, why is youtube forcing a different language on me with terrible low quality translations.
Add-on works great, i don't have the quality setting issue some people are reporting either. - Rated 5 out of 5by ff-user_num, 3 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12194226, 3 months agoIt works and doesn't seem to make loading times worse for me.

- Rated 3 out of 5by La Fougne, 3 months agoWorks well but youtube is stuck at 360p when activated... That's a real problem.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Sakujo, 3 months agoWhile it does seam to work (haven't had translated videos in a while), it does also slow down video load by a lot. Sometimes half a minute per video load. Maybe an issue with some combination of other YT plugins I have. But when this plugin is enabled it is definitely part of the cause. Disabled, videos load fast, in seconds. Other plugins I use: ublock origin, Sponsor block, youtube repeat button, return youtube dislike, remove youtube endcard, blocktube, auto high quality for YT. I don't want to rate it low, that wouldn't be fair, but obviously there is some issue.
