Yes, these are automatically translated by YT. I'm seeing a lot of video titles that have suddenly been translated to Dutch when I log in.
I find this very annoying and have been looking how to turn it off, but couldn't find it.
In my observation not all videos have translated titles, I'd say about 20~30%. So my theory is that it is either some A/B test from YT, or that the channel owner can opt in/out of the automatic translations.
- kumpelblase2 7y agoThe only way I've managed to turn it off is by changing the language of youtube to be English (I've had it in my native language before).
- jvzr 7y agoI'm French but have everything in English (system, browser & YouTube). I've seen a lot of French YouTube videos with their title auto-translated in English a couple of weeks after their diffusion. (Bad for two reasons: (1) badly translated titles, sometimes hilariously so, and (2) the algorithm recommends me videos I have already watched. I guess (2) is because I don't usually watch the last 20 seconds, the static "my last video was", whatever it's called, so YouTube must think I haven't watched the video. Most times, the red gauge below the video thumbnail shows half-full even though I've watched the video minus these 20 seconds. There's still room for improvements...)
