I feel like its profoundly American to assume everyone wants to see everything in one language.

I regularly consume content in two languages, my partner 3, and many of my friends are in the same boat. Please either allow me to just blacklist languages to not translate automatically or always keep content in the original language but allow changing after engaging with it. Its insane that this requires an extension for a company with as much resources as google.

The translations of video titles are absolutely atrocious and rarely mean anything near the intent of the original title.
