I can't reproduce the issue on my side, as you can see.
I noticed on your screenshot that you're clearly using other add‑ons related to YouTube and did not mention them here. Maybe one of them is causing a conflict. Please try disabling them and test if your issue is still here.

I probably found your problem. You have Sponsor Block installed right?
This is the one causing conflict with this specific issue :
SponsorBlock creates its own chapter button for the current chapter and hides the original YouTube chapter button. This caused a conflict: even if the extension replaced the original chapter title, SponsorBlock’s button would still display its own (based on translated chapter).
I just fixed this, YNT now also update this button if needed. This fix will be available in the next update.

Let me know if I'm right, and don't hesitate to reopen the issue if this was not the cause of your issue (that would be really surprising)

Hi @YouG-o , I am sorry that I didn't mention the other extensions. Fell right out of my head.

You are correct about SponsorBlock being the conflict. I have just tested this again today and disabled SponsorBlock, and it correctly stays in original Polish language on this video. And the update resolved it, to a point, I think:

When I turned SponsorBlock back on, the issue is now "reversed" - now the timeline-thumbnail's text is translated, and the timestamp-text is translated:

Sorry to bother you with this kind of minor conflicts. Let me know if there's any way I can help
