hey! it’s already supported, check settings.

i assume you want a picker instead of using your browser language, so i’ll rename the issue to that

Ah, I see. Yeah a picker of some sort would be great. My OS & browser are set to English, so this usually just ends up being the default language.

you can temporarily move the preferred dub language over english in browser's language settings

Good idea, that'd work for the time being. A language picker would still be more ideal for the future though, I'd say.

Would it be easier when I set up «  preferred dub language : original », to avoid dub language ?
This option doesn’t work when i use my VPN not in local area.

when the dub language is set to original, the original audio track is used, aka no dub

your ip geolocation doesn’t affect cobalt, because requests to youtube are done on our servers
