Stop or Enable YouTube from Translating Video Titles in 2025

Many times, YouTube translates video titles into an unknown language. The good news is that you can easily control the process of YouTube translating video titles. Given that, the following sections explain how to stop YouTube from translating video titles in a few simple steps. One of the sections also explains the best translation method if you don’t want to stop YouTube from translating video titles, but translate whole videos.

Part 1. Why Is YouTube Translating Video Titles?

Several reasons could contribute to YouTube translating video titles, including a change in your current region, your device (typically a laptop) connected to a new, unverified wireless network, etc.

When this happens, you are compelled to do all the translation jobs manually, where you have to copy the title and then use Google Translate to read it in your language.

You can skip this hassle.

Part 2. How to Stop YouTube from Translating Video Titles?

The bitter truth is that YouTube doesn’t natively allow you to control its title translations, and this must be done at the browser level itself. If you don’t want that, using a browser extension would be a good idea, as it allows you to turn on or off translation more conveniently.

This section covers the most workable solutions to stop YouTube from translating video titles.

Method 1. At the Browser Level

Because each web browser works differently, you must learn to stop YouTube from translating video titles on all the browsers you use.

The steps given below explain how to disable YouTube video title translation on Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox:

On Google Chrome

1.Go to YouTube.com on Google Chrome

2.Click Customize and control Google Chrome

3.Click Translate

4.Click Translate options in the Google Translate box

5.Check Never translate this site

6.Restart Google Chrome

On Mozilla Firefox

1.Go to YouTube.com on Mozilla Firefox

2.Click Open application menu

3.Click Translate page

4.Click Settings

5.Check Never translate this site

6.Restart Mozilla Firefox

For other Internet browsers, such as Opera, Microsoft Edge, etc., you can check their Help sections to learn how to prevent YouTube from translating video titles.

Method 2. Using a Browser Extension

If you don’t want to mess up the default settings of your web browser, installing a third-party extension called YouTube Anti Translate would be a wise approach. Fortunately, YouTube Anti Translate is available for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, and you can follow the links given below to obtain and install it:

Part 3. How to Enable YouTube Video Title Translation?

Sometimes the scenario is different.

When you plan to watch a video in a different language, YouTube translates video titles for you so you can understand what you’re about to see.

However, if you previously disabled YouTube auto-translate video titles, you won’t see the translated titles even for the videos you are interested in.

Again, the good news is that you can re-enable the feature responsible for YouTube translating video titles. To do this:

• Follow the steps given above

• Uncheck the Never translate this site option

• Restart the browser

Similarly, if you installed the YouTube Anti Translate Mozilla Firefox add-on or Google Chrome extension, disabling it would do the job.

Part 4. Benefits of Translating YouTube Videos

As explained above, there could be instances when you want YouTube to translate video titles so you can assess whether the content you’re planning to watch is worth it. As for translating YouTube videos to their entirety, that is a different story altogether.

Some key advantages of translating YouTube videos (and not merely their titles) include:

• Flexibility to watch foreign content without learning their language

• Elimination of the need for distracting subtitles

• Global audience reach if you’re a YouTuber

• Reduced manual translation processes, which could be expensive when hiring humans from varied countries
