User reviews

Users find the Relingo extension very useful and easy to use for vocabulary learning and YouTube subtitles, helping improve language skills effectively. However, multiple users report technical issues on specific Chrome/macOS versions causing YouTube connectivity errors when the extension is enabled. Translations sometimes lack naturalness and contextual accuracy, and disabling the dictionary popup is problematic. Netflix dual subtitle display also faces problems with inaccurate machine translations and subtitle cutoff. Users appreciate its functionality but desire improvements in translation quality and user interface controls.
Pros
  • The extension is very useful for vocabulary learning while browsing and watching YouTube.
  • It is easy to use and simple, providing convenient and quick translations.
  • The subtitles feature on YouTube works well and is appreciated by many users.
  • The extension improves language skills effectively, as noted by some long-term users.
  • Supports multiple languages and provides vocabulary assistance in a versatile manner.
Cons
  • On certain Chrome and macOS versions (Chrome 133.0.6943.54 and macOS 15.3), the extension causes YouTube to display 'no network' errors, requiring disabling the extension to fix.
  • Translations often lack naturalness and contextual nuance, requiring users to look up words elsewhere for accurate meanings.
  • The built-in dictionary popup triggered on hover cannot be disabled completely, causing some user annoyance.
  • Issues with dual subtitles on Netflix where machine-translated Korean subtitles are inaccurate and subtitles sometimes get cut off on the screen.
  • Some features such as subtitle positioning are unclear or difficult to control (e.g., dragging subtitles on videos).

The translations of the words are not natural, not captured the nuance meaning in the context. Thus it's not that helpful in terms of learning. The learner will still have to look up the word in a dictionary.
