I believe many here might know the Language Reactor extension, which allows you to watch videos on YouTube/Netflix with double subtitles (original and translation), as well as romanizations/pinyin (for languages that don’t use the Latin alphabet). It also allows you to save words to a list.
I was hoping that LingQ could implement such a feature, or, at the bare minimum, fix the video visibility on the LingQ website itself.
I would love if I could just leisurely watch some YouTube videos in my target language and every now and then save a couple of words to LingQ without having to import it to LingQ as a whole lesson.
Let’s all agree that the way LingQ is right now, it is not a pleasurable experience to watch videos on it because the video gets too small, and you have to swipe pages all the time.
If it did work somewhat like Language Reactor or Language Player, it would be amazing.
Anyone who purchased the MasterLingQ extension before November 2024 is eligible for a lifetime account.
Another user @vet8t6z79pc4 seems to have put a large amount of time and effort into improving the YouTube player experience on the LingQ website. His solution is free but is asking for a donation if possible.
Regarding the adding of single words/phrases without importing a lesson it is very doable. A dummy lesson would be setup and then additional words / phrases can be added on demand.
It is also unlikely to get a response from LingQ devs here without directly tagging them or posting in the support forum.
