What commenters say

• YouTube's automatic translation feature can be annoying and inaccurate for multilingual users.
• Some users appreciate the translation feature and do not see the need for an extension to disable it.
• The extension is necessary because YouTube does not provide a straightforward way to disable automatic translations.
• The issue is not just about YouTube, but also about how websites often confuse country with language, leading to frustrating user experiences.
• A better solution would be for YouTube to provide a 'blacklist' of languages that users understand, so that only unfamiliar languages are translated.
• The problem is not just about translation quality, but also about user preference and control over their viewing experience.
• YouTube's approach to translation is overly simplistic and does not account for the complexity of language use and preference.
• A more effective approach would be to allow users to set their language preferences and have YouTube respect those settings.
