And automatically forced on every user depending on whatever their Google account is set to, just like the video titles which now get auto-translated without any way to turn this off. We're sliding back into a monolingual world.
No thanks.
- leobg 3y agoAs a native German, I also resent it when Google/Amazon/whoever tries to force a translation on me when I prefer the original language. So I wouldn't want to live in a world where everything would be dubbed into German for me. Not even if they used my tool :) Regarding YouTube: AFAIK, YouTube allows you to add multi-lingual voice tracks to your videos. Then, if the viewer has a preferred language set, the video will play in that language. Else in the language inferred by his browser/OS. But the user can also switch back to the original language, or any other language, right in the player.
- Freak_NL 3y agoYou can't switch to original titles though, so I'm not really confident Google is going to be offering this option for long.
