Creators have the option to turn on auto-dubbing. Youtube doesn't do it automatically.

You have the option to turn it off under the gear icon in audio track.

If that's not it, feel free to post an offending video.

I was talking to a friend in Germany who said the German language interface doesn't give creators those options yet. And that's the thing that really gets me. I click on a video by a German, in the German language, expecting to hear German. But instead a high pitched synthetic English voice comes out. Don't get me wrong, I loved all the obviously dubbed B-movies from the 70s and 80s, but it's jarring to hear ARD commentators not speaking German.
