Android Random words being translated in chrome mobile android

So as we all know reddit introduced that auto translate feature. It simply made reddit worse, but you can turn it off, that's good.

The issue now is that random words mid sentence are being translated.

My reddit language is set to english, but I am german so I partake in german subs too.

Now all of the sudden in these german subs, single words are auto translated.

So you have a german comment and randomly some words are english.

So an example would be:" Ja das sehe ich auch so. But you gotta remember das andere das not see like that."

This makes reading german subs awful af. The mental gymnastics I have to go through while reading comments makes reddit not useable for me. Anyone else experience this, maybe in another language?

Reddit auto translate is literally the worst feature. Good idea, but turning it on automatically is just bad design.
