About

YouTube often auto-translates video titles, descriptions, chapters, and may even switch audio to dubbed/translated tracks. If you prefer watching in the original language, this quickly becomes distracting — and changing your region to “fix it” can mess with recommendations and trends.

YouTube without Translation restores original content where YouTube shows auto-translated UI elements and, when possible, switches audio back to “Original / Original audio”.

Features:
📝 Original video titles — watch page, feeds/lists, search results, Shorts, and some embed contexts  
📄 Original descriptions — watch page, plus description snippets in video cards (e.g., search results)  
⏱️ Original chapters — restores chapter titles using the original description  
🎨 Original channel branding — restores channel name/description on channel pages and in channel lists  
🎧 Original audio track — best-effort “Original” track selection; includes a separate best-effort workaround for m.youtube.com  

Controls:
🎛️ Master enable/disable toggle  
✅ Per-feature toggles  
🔄 Optional auto-reload for instant applying
