User Reviews

Dualsub provides dual subtitles with translation that helps language learning and works on YouTube and other sites. It offers selectable subtitle text and remembers language settings between videos. However, users repeatedly encounter limited language support, site compatibility issues, unadjustable subtitle size, translation quotas, and occasional UX regressions after updates.
Pros
  • Dual subtitles with translation, helping language learning.
  • Works on YouTube (including mobile) and on other sites like Coursera.
  • Remembers language settings between videos.
  • Translates non-English subtitles into the user's native language.
  • Subtitle text can be selected for easier reading or copying.
Cons
  • Limited language support; translations are often limited to a few languages and some languages (e.g., Turkish) are not supported; Mandarin translation or languages may show 'unsupported source language'.
  • Site compatibility issues; some videos or sites are not supported, and YouTube may report 'website not supported' in some cases (OK.ru also requested).
  • Secondary subtitles are large and cannot be adjusted in size.
  • Translation service quotas or guest user limits can block translations.
  • UX regressions after updates, such as features like style switching or visibility toggles disappearing.

Was the best Dual Subs App, now does not even translate Mandarin, always "Unsupported source language"
by A *****, 2026-02-22

Perfect for learning a language where the video has both subtitles. Make sure to go into settings and make the text selectable for even more convenience.
by To*****, 2026-02-01

Peut-être que je n'ai pas tout compris mais pour moi il n'y a le choix qu'entre chinois et anglais comme langues traduites, et encore, il faut que la video youtube aie déjà prévu des sous-titres ! Aucun intérêt, donc, j'ai désinstallé...
