Google does that for some products for us swedes as well which is very annoying since most of us are fluent in english. Even if it was in a language I don't speak I rather have it the native language because translating it often makes little sense and I can translate stuff myself when I need it, which isn't that often.

Often, the translation suck as well and doesn't make sense. Especially on youtube. I had to change my country of origin to make it disappear. Like, what's the point in translating a youtube video title if the video itself still is in english?

Or translating movie titles, which creates enormous confusion imo since it's not named a swedish name, it's often in english.
