Reviews & Comments of GlotDojo - Learn languages with movies & news chrome extension

Great extension, thanks! Would be great to improve: - select not only words but also phrases & auto-translate them - history of my own words translated - ability to "translate" to definition of word on same language (like in google translate on the bottom)

VERY helpful at least for me.

Will it replace the official Google translate app? Maybe. This implementation has incredible potential and might help people (and me) attain fluency quickly. But there is some issues with the interface. The interface is much better on mobile. I found the hovering feature is click/hotkey feature to be very useful. I liked the inclusion of the Microsoft and IPA phonetic (currently disabled for me, but giving the benefit of doubt) but the advanced translation panel still needs to be manually clicked every time even when adjusted there are three setting panes in this app making it an unorganized mess when they should be accessible from one menu. All the video options should be in the same settings where the Integrated Video Sites is located, adjusting from the video directly feels clumsy and the pane can't be pinned or moved around. It feels like it took code from somewhere else or is written by multiple people Not sure if it is functioning on youtube as expected. I am also not sure where to find the wordlists on the Chrome extension and not sure if the sync is functioning as expected. My wordbook on mobile can be found with one tap. The web panel It is still under construction and unusable and I am very tired so I will wait to give it a full well written review and test. I am excited to see the continued development of this app and will update later with a review after testing everything and after using it regularly for a bit One useful thing you could add that would make this app stand out is the ability to tap into the Chrome Live Caption function which works on videos on YouTube and other sites that don't have Closed Captioning yet and on livestreams like my local government and Twitter.

very useful

I can't translate from kazakh and such languages... kinda useless for me moreover, it DOESN'T translate if a YouTube video has no caption. The only reason to install it is just if you want two subtitles in one screen. anything else is possible from YouTube itself.

The best app to learn Spanish. It can read subtitles when you pose the video. I really improved my pronunciation with this app.

OMG that's wonderful, thank u so much Dojo!

It works pretty good. The only real issue I have is that Esperanto disappeared from the list of languages after creating the first language pair with it. It is a little slow at first, but it works otherwise.

Thank you. Cool. I was frustrated and almost gave up on learning on udemy but accidentally I found this extension and I am very grateful to those who have developed this extension. really really thank you very much .. love from me.

I love it, because I'll learn Arabic, Chinese, Indonesian, Romanian, and more.

doesnt work

I have tried many others. This one is the best language learning extension so far!

Brilliant extension! Best of kind among different select-and-translate tools. But please! Add two small things! 1. Plain simple ON/OFF switch in the extension popup window (under toolbar button). Profiles are good thing but often it is just handy to simple switch off the extentoin reactions. 2. Permanent Pin for translation popup, so it will stay unchanged even when the selection is gone. Kind regards! P.S. More tricky moment. Maybe it is possible to add speech speed correction +/- 20%? (Per language of course)

Very convenient for Asian TV shows bingers who want to pick up more languages. I have the feeling that I have just touched the tip of the ice berg, eager to dig deeper into this stuff. Big thumbs up!

i really love this extension !

Cool. I love dual sub feature on films

This extension is exactly what I've been looking for. From now on, I can watch my favorite movies in not only my mother tongue but also English, Chinese, Korean on Netflix, WeTV. 100 thumbs up!!!

Glotdojo is great. It's very helpful for studying language. This is the best extension I have used. Thank your team so much.

I use Glot to learn Chinese with dual sub on iQyi every day.
