User reviews

Users find the Spotlight Lingo extension valuable for learning languages by translating individual words on subtitles, especially on YouTube. It is appreciated for being lightweight, practical, and free, with useful features like hiding common words. However, many users criticize it for offering only word-by-word translations without contextual sentence meaning, leading to difficulties in understanding phrases. The video pausing on hover disrupts viewing, and some report inaccurate or slow translations. A few users experienced functionality issues. Support for idioms and phrasal verbs is also lacking.

Recent reviews

"to effortlessly understand unfamiliar words and phrases" how can anyone understand a phrase with a word by word translation? A phrase, even more a sentence, have meaning ONLY because the sum of their words makes sense... "reinforce your language skills while enjoying your favorite content." I have to hover over every word, one by one to get its definition(s), then figure out of all that info what the sentence might be about? you call that enjoying the content? Nah. Not really. Useless extension. Misleading title. My phone with Google translation in camera mode: yes TRANSLATES. There's no translation of anything in here.
