It's not always convenient to copy a link to an external site. A Chrome extension lets you add translated subtitles directly over the player you're already watching — Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Here's how it works and the differences between platforms.
A subtitle layer over the player
The extension detects the video that's playing, fetches or generates subtitles for it, and shows them in a transparent layer over the video — without interfering with the player itself. You can adjust size, color, and position, and sync with a click if there's an offset.
Social vs. protected content
There's an important technical difference. Social sites like Facebook serve accessible audio, so it can be transcribed like on the website. Protected services like Netflix or Disney+ encrypt the stream, so there transcription happens through a user-initiated tab capture — never automatically — to preserve control and privacy.
The same brain as the website
A good extension isn't just a thin layer — it runs the same identification, the same source search, and the same transcription as the full website. That way you get the same quality everywhere you watch.
Who it's for
The Pangea Player extension is open to Pro subscribers and above, and brings subtitles to the front of the screen with a single keyboard shortcut. It's the most convenient way to watch with translated subtitles without leaving the site you're already on.
