About talavarp
Many programmes on ruv.is carry Icelandic subtitles but no translations.
talavarp fetches those Icelandic subtitles, translates them into any of 17
languages, and overlays them on the video — synced, styleable, and optional.
- One click per tab: open a programme, click talavarp, turn subtitles on.
- 17 languages: English, Polish, Spanish, Romanian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian,
Russian, Filipino, Arabic (right-to-left supported), Croatian, Serbian,
Bosnian, Portuguese, Vietnamese, German, Czech, Greek — the languages
Iceland actually speaks.
- The extension UI itself speaks your language too.
- Optionally show the original Icelandic line above the translation.
- VLC-style subtitle options: font size, colours, outline, background,
position, alignment, timing delay, line height, letter spacing — live,
on the video, with balanced line breaks (no orphan words).
- Language-learner mode: keep the last subtitle on screen until the next
one appears.
- Works in fullscreen.
- Translations are cached locally, so re-watching is instant.
- Free built-in translation (rough but serviceable), or plug in your own
Google Gemini API key for noticeably better quality.
- Tells you clearly when a programme has no Icelandic subtitles to translate.
