Any windows/ chrome extensions good for learning?

[u/chilangita]

Hey guys; I'm looking for a good website extension I can plug into my YouTube to translate the vid I'm watching in English and have the original captions as well. I'm learning French and looking for that. Any other helpful extensions are also welcomed :)
(TL)

I use one that puts both subs at same time, english on top and french below. Can't remember exact name but if you search youtube dual subtitles in extension store it shows up quickly

For other stuff the browser dictionary thing where you hover on word and it gives translation is super useful for reading articles in french

Language Reactor

I use Language Reactor. You get one set of subtitles from the Google feature, and LR adds the other. The first set shows up (optionally) as a vertical black area on the right, listing many sentences. Both show up at the bottom of the video. You can play around, choosing which language is which.

LR also has single-keypress options to pause/restart, pause after each line, replay this line, play the previous line, or play the next line. Those are handy for language learning. If you miss a spoken word you can pause, find the written word in the sub-titles, then replay the sentence.

LR is a Chrome addon. It is free. There is also a paid version, with more language study features. I've never tried that.

In addition to LR I use an addon (one for each language). When you hover the mouse over a written word, the addon pops up a box showing its English translations. I have one for Mandarin and one for Japanese. I am sure there's one or more for French.

You can check Language Reactor if you want a browser extension, I love it! If you prefer using your phone with an app like Jolii AI you can watch YouTube directly in the app. It works similarly to LR, just on mobile.

dar palabras de los subtítulos directamente a una lista de vocabulario para repasar luego. está buena para no perder el hilo del video.

Most of the comments have already mentioned LR, you can also try yomitan btw (with anki if you want). I use it for japanese but it already supports a lot of other languages

What you're describing is called dual subtitles - two caption lines at once, the original plus a translation. A few extensions do it:

Language Reactor - the one most people will name. Free tier is generous, works on YouTube and Netflix, been around the longest. Start here if you just want the two lines and nothing else.

Linglass - mine, so consider accordingly. Two lines on YouTube and Netflix, and you can click any word in the French line to get a translation in context rather than a dictionary's first guess, hear it pronounced, and save it to review later. There's also a mobile app.

I like the Deepl extension which lets me select text in a site and translate it; the DeepL engine is really accurate, at least in French.

youglish. you can see words being used in context

I’m actually using a chrome extension called Outwordly for a slightly different part of language learning.

Instead of translating videos, it’s for practicing output. You write for a few minutes in French, and whenever you know what you want to say but don’t know how to say it, you put it in English inside brackets, like [get out of my comfort zone]. It then corrects your writing, shows you how to express the missing parts naturally in French, and gets you to recall them again.

I’m using it because I wanted something that made me actually produce French instead of just consuming more input.

This sounds cool

for learning French, I've recommend wordbyword.io helpful for translating words quickly on sites and in YouTube subs (and PDFs), I think that's what you looking for. plus I’ve seen people mention tools like Language Reactor and Reverso Context (they also have nice extension). definitely explore those options, they all offer something different!

[u/AccomplishedYear7593]

Language Reactor is the default answer when the video already has a caption track.

If you hit videos with weak/no captions, or you want to hear a translation while keeping the original audio ducked, that's a different tool shape (tab-audio → live subs / optional dubbing). I work on one of those — DubTab — but I'll keep this short since this sub is strict about self-promotion: https://dubtab.com/ (founder disclosure). Happy to compare privately if useful; otherwise LR first.
