YouTube No Translation

A web browser extension that keeps your YouTube experience authentic by preventing automatic translations. The extension is available on Chromium browsers, Firefox and Safari.


Available on Mozilla Available on Chrome Web Store
Available on Microsoft Store


You can get the Firefox and Chrome extensions on their official stores, but for Safari you must build it yourself. I do not provide support for Safari.

Features:

  • Video Titles: Keep titles in their original language (Video titles, Shorts, Notifications...)
  • Audio Tracks: Always use the original audio track (or choose a specific one)
  • Descriptions: Prevent automatic translation of videos descriptions
  • Subtitles: Set your preferred subtitle language, if unavailable, subtitles are disabled (auto generated ones are ignored)

You can enable YouTube Data API v3 (requires your own API key) for the most reliable and fastest way to fetch original data. Learn more.

If you want to use the DeArrow extension alongside this one PLEASE CHECK THIS to avoid any conflicts.
