This extension replaces the default youtube subtitles with one customized that allows you to select a word and translates it for you.
The extension is fully functional when the youtube page is in English language.
Only tested in chrome and brave.
- Auto selection translated subtitles
- Auto selection auto-translate subtitles
- Translate a selected word in the subtitles
although youtube already implements these functionalities, I made this extension to practice.
- Go to chrome:https://extensions/
- Activate the "Developer mode" option
- Load the extension in "Load unpacked"
- (Optional) Go to "details" and activate "Allow in Private"
Translations are obtained from google translator and other services (deepl, bing).
By default deepl is used, since google translator has a limit for translating.
