In addition to the feature being auto-on (for me, at least) and unasked-for, you also need to perform multiple clicks through non-obvious menus (I think one of them was "Audio track"?) to get to the original audio. Another layer of obnoxiousness.

I don't even know how to get the original video title back…
You can't. The translated titles and descriptions are ruined and there is nothing you as a viewer can do to fix it back.
I think there's a way since I saw a browser extension that did exactly that.
I meant that there is no google/youtube-provided way to fix the problem they caused.
yeah, the extension uses the YouTube api to get the original video title. you need to set up your own api key though
JFC!
