Extension summary

YouTube titles translation is very good for beginners but when you know the language enough to understand meaning of title it becomes mildly infuriating. Also you can't disable this function, it can be only disabled by changing YouTube main country.

Ютуб автоматически заменяет заголовки видео популярных иностранных блогеров на переведенные народными умельцами. Это иногда бывает полезно, особенно если английский в школе страдал, но когда ты немного знаешь язык такая опция становится ненужной и даже раздражающей, а отключить ее можно только сменой страны в настройках ютуба. Такое решение несет много побочных эффектов - все рекомендации и тренды станут иностранными, это очень неудобно.

YT Anti Translate - расширение, которое автоматически заменяет переведенные названия на оригинальные. Оно делает это для всех видео - текущего, рекомендованных и даже трендов/домашней страницы.

Расширение не вредоносное, в этом можно убедиться посмотрев код в гитхабе - https://github.com/zpix1/yt-anti-translate

對一個已經能讀懂英文,日文的我來說 YT自動翻譯功能非常惱人,常常導致詞不達意或是截然不同的譯句 這個app即將被Google拔掉真的非常可惡
