About NPO Start Dual Subtitles
What's new:
- [0.6.0] Add TextTrack cue reading with prefetch and domain-based module layout.
- [0.5.2] Fixed issue where subtitles were appearing so tiny. Small refactoring around click-to-translate functionality. Added what's new section and a badge to make the updates more visible.
- [0.5.1] Fixed dual subtitles not appearing on the first click of the player toggle. Translation now waits for the subtitle overlay, keeps the background worker alive while Google Translate responds, and defaults to English if no language is selected.
- [0.5.0] Updated the extension to comply with new changes on the player.
- [0.4.1] Improved pause-on-hover behavior, added a popup checkbox to control pause on subtitle hover, and removed automatic translation state restore on new videos (the previous remembered-state auto-start behavior was inconsistent and often caused issues).
- [0.4.0] Added click-to-translate for subtitle words with an in-player popup, plus a selectable-subtitles checkbox so external tools like Reverso can translate words directly from the page.
- [0.3.0] Translation now activates automatically when you open a video. A toggle button is injected directly into the video player controls no need to open the extension popup. Your toggle state is saved and remembered across videos. Dutch subtitles (Nederlands) are enabled automatically when available.
- [0.2.0] Added button to activate translation without extra steps. Added contact information to popup. Small UI improvements.
- [0.1.1] Added popup to allow selecting target language from various options
