I couldn’t believe nobody had done this yet so I did it myself. www.lexiconista.com/falsehoods-about-languages/

@lexiconista I'd add "Users only understand exactly one language, and it's the same as what they have the UI set to" which is especially relevant when trying to offer translated content: Why would the user want to see a translated version when they can understand the original just fine? (Looking at you, youtube...)

@becomethewaifu @lexiconista Ah, you've set your language to English? No matter, you're behind a German IP address, so we're not only auto-mistranslating titles to German but also switching to a truly unpleasant AI-Dub with no way to turn it off on the mobile site.

We care about your experience.

@specificprotagonist @becomethewaifu @lexiconista I don't think I have seen a way to turn it off on desktop either
