User reviews
Subs Translate is appreciated for aiding language learning by translating subtitles on demand and offering a simple way to open translations in a new tab. However, multiple users noted it doesn't integrate smoothly with YouTube's auto-translate, opens external translation pages instead of inline subs, and lacks hotkey support. The tool translates one subtitle line at a time, which some find less practical compared to existing YouTube auto-translate features.
Pros
- Useful for language learners to understand or improve language skills by translating subtitles.
- Opens a new tab with the translation of the current subtitle, which some users find convenient.
- Simple and straightforward to use with functionality activated by a button press.
- Enhances watching movies or videos in the original language by providing translations.
Cons
- Does not work automatically with YouTube auto-translate, requiring manual interaction.
- Opens a new page/tab with Google Translate rather than translating subtitles inline.
- Lacks a hotkey to quickly trigger translation, which some users requested.
- Only translates one subtitle line at a time, seen as less efficient compared to YouTube's built-in auto-translate.
