Forced translations. Yes YouTube, I have my browser set to French, but I read and understand English perfectly fine, please stop badly translating English vide

  Ive been trying to learn a new language and this feature is awful. It constantly either translates language-learning videos entirely into english or into the language i'm trying to learn. Despite all settings on my account being set to english, if I include any non-english text in my search query that is enough to get youtube to translate all videos out of english. When it does this, there is seemingly no built-in feature to change this back, other than through addons. And there isn't even an indication that conveys the fact the video title and description are auto-translated, other than maybe i recognize the channel and can tell that its supposed to be in another language. And part of me thinks, "maybe once i learn enough, such a feature could maybe be helpful in learning a language" But every video ive seen so far thats auto-translated into English is done so quite badly and confusingly. I can't trust the translation.

  I've only had YouTube force-translate a Spanish video once, and I watch them pretty regularly. Once I turned the translate setting off, it's just stayed off. This is on my Apple TV where I don't (can't) have any extensions installed.
