This Hacker News thread discusses the frustrations multilingual users face with YouTube's automatic translation features, specifically the new AI-powered audio dubbing and title translations. Users complain that these features are often inaccurate, poorly implemented, and, most importantly, cannot be disabled easily. Many feel YouTube is prioritizing a simplified experience for monolingual users at the expense of those who consume content in multiple languages. The conversation highlights the lack of respect for user language preferences, with YouTube often relying on IP-based geolocation instead of browser or account settings. This leads to situations where users are served auto-translated content in languages they already understand or incorrect translations into their native language. Participants suggest solutions like blacklisting languages or defaulting to the original language with an option to translate. Frustration is amplified by the difficulty in identifying and disabling these features, requiring browser extensions for a more customized experience. The thread emphasizes the need for YouTube to acknowledge and cater to the needs of its multilingual user base.
