Google is institutionally incapable of understanding that some people can speak multiple languages. Only reliable solution I found is to create one account for each language and restrict the number of available languages to just that one in:
https://www.google.com/preferences?lang=1 https://www.google.com/preferences?lang=1
YouTube is the worst offender these days. I get Portuguese videos auto-dubbed to English and vice-versa even though I can understand both and with no way to disable other than account switching.
It also can't tell Portuguese from Spanish in search queries.

- pentagrama 10mo agoTo avoid YouTube auto-dubbing I use https://youtube-no-translation.vercel.app/ https://youtube-no-translation.vercel.app/ Recommended!
- orloffm 10mo agoYou can now select languages to not auto-translate in YouTube settings.
- jhart99 10mo agoI didn't realize they finally added a way to sort of control this behavior. It's under Languages in the YouTube settings. Similarly there is a control for captions languages under Captions/Subtitles.
