Add-on summary

Subs Translate extension gets subtitles directly from HTML. Click on the icon opens the translator service in the new tab. To change target language (russian by default), replace "ru" inside the translator URL to language you need (de, fr, es, etc.). To configure other online video service you need set up the custom subtitles container selector value on the options page. Make sure that the parent container specified in the selector is always present in the page code, otherwise the extension icon will be inactive. Sometimes Google Translate translates text in upper case from English to some languages (such as Russian) incorrectly. In this case, you may need using option "Convert to lower case before translating" (see add-on options). Good luck!

Расширение Subs Translate извлекает субтитры непосредственно из HTML. Нажмите на иконку, чтобы открыть перевод в новой вкладке. Чтобы изменить целевой язык перевода (по умолчанию русский), замените «ru» внутри URL-адреса переводчика на нужный вам язык (de, fr, es и т. д.). Чтобы настроить другой сервис онлайн-видео, необходимо задать значение "Custom subtitles container selector" на странице параметров. При этом убедитесь, что родительский контейнер, указанный в селекторе, всегда присутствует в коде страницы, иначе иконка расширения будет неактивна. Иногда Google Translate неправильно переводит текст в верхнем регистре с английского на некоторые языки (например, русский). В этом случае Вам может помочь опция «Convert to lower case before translating» (см. настройки расширения). Удачи!
