Poorly maintained. The extension works, but it also breaks the miniplayer and video queue features. Whenever the miniplayer is open and the mouse hovers another video thumbnail, the extension tries to close the miniplayer. If only one video is inside the queue, it succedes and the player just dissapears. If 2 or more videos are in the queue, a warning message appears asking if we indeed want to close the player.. This makes it impossible to "add to queue" videos, as the queue just empties itself every time the cursor hovers over any other video... I can't possibly recommand an extension that breaks such an important functionality that I use daily.

can't manually change audio track, disable button doesn't work (shows as disabled but still works), there are other extensions that work better

Doesn't work on my side. Since YouTube forced this ridiculously annoying "feature" on us, i tried everything i could to get rid of it. Even on my entirely English PC, using this extension, both logged in to YT with language and location set to UK as well as logged out - i get titles and content translated to German. Manually changing it in one video doesn't even persist after reload. Dear Youtube, what the actual f*#k?! Dear extension developer, sorry - no stars

Didn't work. I am on a Windows 11 computer using Google Chrome x64 version 127.0.6533.73. Everything in this machine was updated yesterday. Such a shame because the idea behind this extension would make it so great. I hope to come back here, find out the issues have been ironed out and be able to write a new and glowing review.

Please fix pressing "i" (keyboard shortcut for miniplayer, hitting "i" key in keyboard)

It doesn't play the default audio but plays audio on top. Not the one I expected. The idea was quite attractive though.

Works fine most of the time, but the "enable/disable" toggle doesn't work as intended, even on "Disable" it's forcing the original language and doesn't let me select other track. I have to globally disable it in order to be able to change audio tracks to Interlingua or another one.

I have a few addons, so maybe its not this one's fault, but it didnt solve the issue.

Works on 1 of my 2 computers only. Same language & region settings, but one that works runs Windows 10 and the other that doesn't work runs Windows 11, if this info helps.

Yeah sadly doesn’t work for me either. I’m French, IP located in France, Youtube set in French. I want to watch videos with their original soundtrack, no matter wich language it is. But Youtube forces the additionnal French soundtrack when there is one… I’m so frustrated by that… So this addon seems like the dream to me ! But it didn’t make a difference. I don’t rate it too low though, I wish for it to work !

Hi, doesn't work on Chrome 126.0.6478.61. My default language is French, but the videos that I watch are originally in English.
