Description

### Guidelines

- [X] I have searched the [issue tracker](https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues) for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

### Problem Description

Sometimes Youtube will show titles of videos translated into what it thinks is my language. I believe this can either be with Google Translate or the video uploader can [provide the translation themselves](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6289575?hl=en-GB). In either case, the translation can be undesirable if you understand the language and want to see the original title of the video, which will still be in the HTML page title but nowhere else. I believe it's impossible to disable this misfeature on Youtube itself.

### Proposed Solution

It would be great to disable the translations and see all video titles with their original language.

### Alternatives Considered

I've tried changing the Freetube language to the original language of the video title and this doesn't seem to be enough to see the original, it continues to show me the English translations instead.
