Subs Translate is a versatile Chrome extension designed to capture and translate subtitles directly from HTML-based online video services such as Netflix, HBO (free episodes), YouTube, Amazon Video, and other configurable platforms. By clicking the extension icon, users open the translation service in a new tab, utilizing Google Translate to convert subtitles into the selected target language.

Users can customize the target language by modifying the language code in the translator URL (default is Russian) and configure other video services by setting a custom subtitles container selector in the options page. Additionally, an option to convert subtitles to lowercase before translation addresses accuracy issues when Google Translate struggles with uppercase text. Subs Translate streamlines multilingual subtitle translation, enhancing access to diverse video content across languages.

User reviews

Subs Translate is appreciated for aiding language learning by translating subtitles on demand and offering a simple way to open translations in a new tab. However, multiple users noted it doesn't integrate smoothly with YouTube's auto-translate, opens external translation pages instead of inline subs, and lacks hotkey support. The tool translates one subtitle line at a time, which some find less practical compared to existing YouTube auto-translate features.

Pros

Useful for language learners to understand or improve language skills by translating subtitles.
Opens a new tab with the translation of the current subtitle, which some users find convenient.
Simple and straightforward to use with functionality activated by a button press.
Enhances watching movies or videos in the original language by providing translations.

Cons

Does not work automatically with YouTube auto-translate, requiring manual interaction.
Opens a new page/tab with Google Translate rather than translating subtitles inline.
Lacks a hotkey to quickly trigger translation, which some users requested.
Only translates one subtitle line at a time, seen as less efficient compared to YouTube's built-in auto-translate.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Subs Translate requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Subs Translate has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
