The preview is fetched from lemmy.world which is based in Germany and so Youtube serves German pages.
Add to that the not deselectable auto-translation Youtube is doing.
I hate it so much.
Recently even many audio-tracks are soulless Al voices instead of the original track.
I am bilingual, you pea-brained video-platform-software!FDroid - Pipe Pipe
You mean Newpipe?
Doesn’t make it better. … Sure, I can at least set my standard language to English at least.
But now it will translate the German videos instead…
Or am I missing a setting?
This pisses my partner off. She became quite fluent in English over the past few years, but the headlines and descriptions all get auto-translated to German anyways. Unlike every other platform, there is no “Never translate language XYZ”-option, which Google Translate OTOH does offer.
And just swapping her account language to English UK or so doesn’t help: Then German videos get translated. Same problem in reverse. Seems the Google managers are unable to imagine someone speaking 2+ languages…
I hate it doubly so After training YT to not show me stuff from my homeland, suddenly I started getting hit in the face with my language -.-’
BTW: The box at the bottom:
Not a video description.It’s just an advertisement for Youtube…
Whatever causes this, it’s a part of Lemmy; I get the same thing no matter what I use to browse and I don’t even use Boost.
