Instructions for unfucking YouTube audio tracks for videos in other languages. I only noticed this today after some particularly attrocious auto-dubs in the trailers for the films Heysel 85 and Rose posted by Screen International. Heysel 85 really was the worst of them.

A text copy of the instructions are listed below.

I'm also going to keep this post pinned for a while. Let me know in the comments when you're sick of looking at it.

So YouTube is rolling out its trash automatic machine-generated audio dubbing to all users, enabled by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

Find a video doing the bullshit, click the gear icon on the bottom-right, then click "Audio track". It will probably have a little number by it in parenthesis.

If you just want to chage the audio for this video, you can click the original language and you're done.

If you want to fix this for every video and never have to deal with this again, click the "preferred languages" link.

This should take you to the YouTube settings page. Under "Language" and "Preferred languages", click the "Add or edit languages" link.

Check every checkbox. Every one. Even the one for Klingon.

There is no "select all" option. These are not standard checkbox html elements, so javascript tricks won't work either. You have to click each one manually. Because fuck you.

Click confirm. You're done.

Now look up "enshittification".
