User reviews
I'm not sure what difficulties other users are having but it works fine for me. May be better or worse depending on who you're watching and if they have someone translating in chat at all.

People seem to be getting confused about what this extension actually does--guys, it does not automatically translate chat messages! What it does is isolate messages from users who DO the live translating, which is common in big Hololive chats. If you're wishing to translate chat messages for indie streamers/streamers from orgs that don't have a huge international audience (who probably won't have members who do translating for the community), this will probably be useless to you. INSTEAD, you can download HyperChat, another extension by LiveTL, that has an automatic chat translator feature (it's still experimental but it works fine for me--it uses Google translate). Clicking the download button here sends you to the same website where that's available. Also, for the dev(s), maybe make it obvious that this is not an automatic translator? Leading with the sentence "Have you ever wanted live translations for HoloLive/Vtuber streams? Well, look no further than LiveTL!" is misleading. I think most people's frustrations here are coming from it not being what they expected. Otherwise, great work! Both of the extensions I use from you all are useful.
