Youtube gets geolocation wrong

Youtube decides to geolocate me and automatically give me the closest language to my location. Problem is, the closest language they have is German. I am not in Germany. I don’t (really) speak a lot of German. And I *much* prefer my UI in English, thank you very much.

Google gets this often wrong too.  Damn annoying.image

    One monolithic, monoidiomic and effective solution is ncr. ncr resets everything to english. I am all over the place and the geolocation got me in a rage every time. Even when I was signed in. it gave me the geolocated version.

    google.com/ncr

    video.google.com/ncr (does all the youtube stuff)

    mail.google.com/ncr

    I think it works on most subdomains
