About You Tube No Translation
YouTube No Translation is a free, open-source browser extension that blocks YouTube's automatic translation features. It preserves video titles (including Shorts and notifications), descriptions, audio tracks, thumbnails, and subtitles in their original language, with options to select a preferred subtitle language or disable auto-generated subtitles. The extension supports Chromium, Firefox, and Safari browsers; Safari users must either build the extension themselves using a macOS device with Xcode or download a pre-built release from the project's GitHub repository, as it is not available on the Safari App Store. Firefox versions older than 128 require a separate build process with a modified manifest to function.
