## Review summary

Most users praise YouTube Comment Translate for translating main comments well and for helping them understand foreign-language discussions; they describe it as a high-quality, reliable, handy extension that works as expected. However, several issues appear in multiple reviews: replies to comments are not translated, and the extension can stop working or fail to translate after updates or due to changes in YouTube's comment formats. There are also UI quirks (text size, login requirements) and requests for broader language support and alternative translation services. Overall, value is high, but reliability on replies and YouTube changes is a concern.

### Pros

- Works well and does exactly what it promises.
- Helps users understand foreign-language YouTube comments.
- High-quality, reliable, and well-built extension.
- Handy, user-friendly addon with mobile-app parity for translations.

### Cons

- Replies to comments are not translated.
- The extension can stop working or fail to translate after updates.
- YouTube's comment/reply format changes break translation, making expanded comments non-translatable.
