Feature description

I don't know if this is technically possible (yet). But I would like to have a settings option to disable any auto-altering (translation / dubbing / synchronization) of video titles / content. (Youtube / NewPipe should) Just display, play and download the video (title / description) in its original version.

A bonus sub-feature / alternative feature would maybe be to offer to set languages that should not be translated.

Why do you want this feature?

Youtube apparently nowadays does auto translation / dubbing / synchronization of videos (and their title / description).

It's annoying enough if the original title of a video gets translated, but modifying a video to have some - probably AI - voices presenting the audio in some other language instead of the original voices and languages is very annoying.

I encounter this more and more for downloaded videos - that I'd like to watch in the original version, no matter what preferred language / region is set in NewPipe.
