Double subtitles or single, with instant word translation

Double subtitles or single, with instant word translation

Choose dual or single subtitles. Hover over an unfamiliar word, or double-click it or select a phrase if you prefer, and the video pauses: a pop-up dictionary shows the translation and what it means in this context. The word goes to your Wordbook for review.
AI subtitle translator adds a translated second subtitle line

AI subtitle translator

No subtitles in your language? InterSub can translate subtitles with AI on the fly: it takes the original line and shows the translation as the second one, so you always see both.

Sometimes the platform does have subtitles in your language, but they follow the dub, which is often a loose literary version of what is said. Turn on forced AI translation, and InterSub ignores that track and translates the original line by line instead. On Crunchyroll this gives you Crunchyroll AI subtitles for any anime.

AI translation comes with every paid plan, and you can try it free during the trial.
Translator extension: a phrase in a news article translated from English to Spanish

A translator extension for every website

Select a word or phrase on any page, or double-click a word, and a pop-up shows its translation together with the context. It is an instant translator for articles, Reddit threads and docs, and a YouTube translator extension for comments and video descriptions. Words you save keep a link to the page they came from. Works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox.
Subtitles only on pause

Subtitles only on pause

Turn on «Show subtitles only on pause» and watch without subtitles, the way native speakers do. Missed something? Pause: the current line and the one before it appear, ready to translate. It trains your listening and works with Remote Control too.

Wordbook: your vocabulary builder, history and frequent words

Wordbook: your vocabulary builder, history and frequent words

Every word you look up is saved to your Wordbook with its translation and the line it came from. Words from websites keep a link to the page. Search and filter the list and see which words you check most often, so you know what to learn first. It is a vocabulary builder that fills itself while you watch.
AI Language Buddy explains synonyms of a word from the subtitles

AI Language Buddy, your AI language tutor

Click the Magic button next to a translation to open a chat with AI Language Buddy. Ask what a word means in this scene, how to use it, which synonyms fit or how the grammar works, or type your own question. It runs on ChatGPT, so it can translate meaning, not just words. Save a dictionary-style definition from the chat straight to your Wordbook.

Auto-pause on cursor movement

In full screen, after 5 seconds without mouse movement, any move of the cursor pauses the video, so you can reach a word before the line is gone. Click the player or press Space to continue. You can turn auto-pause off in Settings.
Tip: keep up with fast speech

Tip: keep up with fast speech

When people speak fast, press Space to pause and read the line: most platforms use it for play and pause. Missed a line? Use ← and → or the arrows next to the subtitles to jump back or forward.

More ways to learn with InterSub

  • Shadowing mode

    Shadowing pauses the video after each line so you can repeat it out loud, the classic way of shadowing English or any other language. Set the pause from 1× to 2× the length of the line, and press S to turn it on or off.
  • Subtitles the way you like them

    Make the background transparent or keep it, change the font size of each line, and pick the text and outline color for each language. Move subtitles higher or lower and choose a wide or narrow background.
  • Auto-hide subtitles in your native language

    Watching something in your native language? On Netflix and YouTube InterSub hides the subtitles when the audio is in your native language, so you don't have to switch the extension off between videos. Turn it on in Settings.
