Description

Hello,

just a quick one: please make it able to also disable that HORRIBLE translation feature of YouTube, which on top is often automatically enabled. Like you can disable subtitles and such already.

Best regards,

Tim

Start by finding the extension's existing subtitle-disable setting and tracing how it controls YouTube player behavior. Add a matching opt-out for YouTube's translation feature, then verify that translation stays disabled when YouTube enables it automatically.
