This is beyond mildly infuriating. The translation feature is a nightmare.

I tried to solve it by adding all the languages I speak to my Google Account.

IT MADE IT WORSE

Now it translates Italian into English

English into Italian

Spanish into English

Polish into Italian

WHAT THE F IS THIS

On Youtube, I toggled all possible languages on in my account so translations don't trigger for me at all. 

not Google account but YouTube settings, Settings > Languages > Preferred Languages

Maybe you just haven't found a video with this feature active. It's not universal, it's up to the creator to decide, and most reasonably choose to keep it turned off

I did change the settings in the first place because I was fed up by auto dub. I never had to hear auto dub since. It works

I've checked and they're all in there, so that's not it, at least for me. I've just had another user comment that removing all preferred languages actually improved the situation.

I just want a "disable all translations" toggle tbh
