Ever opened a Reddit link from a search result and found it in a language you never asked for? Reddit sometimes applies automatic language settings to pages — and Original Post stops it. Enable the extension once in Safari, and Reddit stays in whatever language you actually want. -- See Reddit in its original language -- The default mode strips automatic language settings from Reddit links before the page loads. No more German threads when you searched in English. No more Spanish results when you're browsing in French. Reddit shows you content the way it was written. -- Or pick the language you want -- Prefer to read Reddit in a specific language? Set it once in the app and the extension enforces it on every visit — automatically, without you having to do anything else. Keep in mind: not every Reddit post or community supports every language. If you've set a preferred language and a particular post doesn't support it, Reddit will fall back to its original language. That's Reddit's own behavior — but it's good to know so it doesn't catch you off guard. -- Private by design -- Original Post never reads your Reddit content, never sends data anywhere, and requires no account or login. It works entirely within Safari on your device. Download it free and take back control of how Reddit looks in your browser.
