Possible bug: When the post is an YouTube video, the video description is always in german for me (infosec.pub)

This pisses my partner off. She became quite fluent in English over the past few years, but the headlines and descriptions all get auto-translated to German anyways. Unlike every other platform, there is no "Never translate language XYZ"-option, which Google Translate OTOH does offer.

And just swapping her account language to English UK or so doesn't help: Then German videos get translated. Same problem in reverse. Seems the Google managers are unable to imagine someone speaking 2+ languages....
