Anybody else encounter these yet? Another way in which Google searches are becoming shittier

At first I was surprised when I started seeing posts in Finnish about the very specific computer issues I was looking up, then quickly realised it was another instance of Google shoving auto-translated garbage in your face based on your IP address.

Clicking on the posts will just show the original posts in English, presumably because I have an extension that auto-redirects to old.reddit. It still makes looking shit up more annoying and I hate having to parse the original meaning through the informal casual Finnish writing style the AI often goes for to determine if the result is even worth clicking on. Also sometimes the translated and original posts show up as separate results in the same search cat-confused

I love how Google has decided that people from X country should only ever be served content in whatever language is dominant in said country. They already pull this shit with Youtube where the fucking auto-dubbing can be really annoying to turn off, especially on mobile. One time I wanted to watch a short with a Japanese pet crow speaking Japanese, except it was autodubbed.

I wanted to hear the cute crow say ohayou, not some emotionless robot going good-morning

An "autodubbed" youtube video was in my recommend feed. Shits dire.
