## What it is
A browser extension that prevents YouTube from automatically translating video titles, descriptions, thumbnails, subtitles, and audio tracks, keeping content in its original language.

## Use cases
- stop youtube from translating video titles
- watch videos with original audio track instead of auto-dubbing
- prevent youtube description auto-translation
- disable auto-generated subtitles on youtube
- restore original youtube thumbnails
- keep youtube content in original language as a polyglot

## When to choose
- you understand the video's original language and hate forced translations or synthetic dubbing
- you want original titles, descriptions, thumbnails, and audio tracks on YouTube

## When to avoid
- you rely on translated titles or auto-dubbing to consume foreign-language content
- you want a translation tool rather than a translation blocker
- you need Safari App Store distribution - it must be self-built
