First, thank you for all your great tutorials.
Now a technical question. I follow your channel from Germany but now I unfortunately get the titel and text in the infobox in German instead of English as before (auto dubbing). It's really awkward. How can I switch this back to English? Youtube/google is no help

Very cute. I have trouble with my coils 'crinking', not a smooth swirl...What am I doing wrong?
