Examples include: Google knows that I speak German and English since I put it in my settings and yet it tries to auto-dub German YouTube content and auto-translates German comments in Maps.

I actually have the opposite problem. Sometimes when googling something I get auto translated results (mostly reddit posts tho), and a week ago the YouTube app on my phone decided to auto translate English video titles.

No, I DON'T want your shitty Dutch auto translation. Give me the original English. I am not English illiterate and you 100% know it, Google.

Even worse. Recently I was watching a video in Dutch, and it decided to automatically translate the sound to English. AI generated. That was just...it sounded so fucked up.

And why does YouTube think it needs to do that? If I want that, I'll so it myself.

happens to me all the time, and sometimes trying to select the original audio track does nothing, especially in shorts

What the fuck, I'm glad that hasn't happened to me yet
