About BabelTube

BabelTube detects when a YouTube video is in a language you don't understand and automatically selects the best subtitles — human-made if available, or auto-generated with translation as a fallback. It also shows a banner reminding you to use Chrome's built-in right-click page translation. No API keys. No subscriptions. Works entirely with YouTube's own data. Features: • Automatic subtitle selection in your target language • Auto-translate fallback using YouTube's built-in caption translation • Optional translation reminder banner • 100+ target languages • Settings sync across your Chrome devices What's New in v1.0.7: • Language detection improvements • More reliable detection on videos with no captions • Clearer popup when video language cannot be determined • Fixes for extension not running after recent updates • Improved audio-language detection (player API, adaptive formats) Note: BabelTube works on YouTube watch pages. YouTube Shorts are not supported in v1.
