PROBLEM:
I select a video with the title in Spanish but when I watch the video it is in English and I feel cheated.

SOLUTION:
The title should appear in English if speaking in English.

ALTERNATIVES:
Alternatively, an icon should appear indicating that it is in English.

RELEVANCE / SCOPE:
The problem may be affecting millions of people who do not speak English or have difficulty understanding it.

"SIDE EFFECTS":
I don't see any harmful side effects.

CONTEXT:

Thank you!

hi & thanks! @TigreAzul100 @m0chimxchi

Spam basically? (without even proper Spanish subtitles?)

filter spam:

  • videos, where the title doesn't match the spoken language
    • sub-option: except if there are manually added subtitles
    • sub-option: except category:music, comedy, education,... ? (could be art / false positives)
      • so this is difficult. So alternatively it can be:
        • video, with title $primary_language, but spoken in English
          • should this feature even be enabled by default - if only the primary language is spanish and the place is latin American? (or which languages, countries & demographies exactly?
            • we can also check if English is enabled as a secondary language here: chrome://settings/languages (is it in your browser? @TigreAzul100 )

compare:

2. (some) popular channels are hiring translators / voice overs, example:

https://www.youtube.com/@VeritasiumES 2.17M 183 309,182,480 Jul 18, 2015

So question: For each such translated video-pair, if somebody speaking Spanish primarily or only (according to their browser) AND they happen to watch a video that is translated (voice over), should we place a big link to the other video?
