Captionz Reintroduced: Dual Subtitles on YouTube (Now with AutoâTranslate)
• • riverHello folks. I hope you are gonna have a fantastic weekend ahead, as I am bringing you a big update for Captionz! Iâm launching Captionzâext, an ultra-lightweight browser extension that finally makes dual subtitles on YouTube practical. Thanks to autoâtranslate, you can pair almost any language, do quick AâB repeats, and add community notes, all while you watch.
As you know, dual subtitles have always been my goal. Finally theyâre realistic for most videos, which means our second subtitle can finally show up đ
And the best part: Captionz is completely free. I first thought Iâd need AI to translate captions (which would cost money), but YouTube already provides autoâtranslate. I just enhance the experience and bring both subtitles together.Promo Banner
Why This Is a MilestoneMy goal is to help you learn from real videos, like movies, interviews, lectures, and news etc. without losing your flow. I built Captionzâext to make dual subtitles practical on most YouTube videos by adding autoâtranslate when only one track exists. It also syncs with the Captionz web app for tools like AâB repeat, notes, and search. Simple setup, more learning.
Free â No FeesEarly on, I planned to use AI to translate captions, which would have meant a paid âproâ plan. Thankfully, YouTube already has autoâtranslate. Captionzâext simply connects the dots so you can see two subtitles at once. Enjoy Captionz completely free.
Whatâs New Autoâtranslate: Turn it on to cover almost any language. If a video has only one caption track, autoâtranslate adds the second. Dual subtitles: My core goal, now practical on most videos. See two languages at once. Oneâclick access: I added a âWatch on Captionzâ button on YouTube video pages. Context menu: I added a rightâclick menu to open any YouTube link in Captionz. Sync with Captionz: Captions flow into Captionz, so AâB repeat, notes, and Dictionariez work right away.Screenshot 2026-01-16 205251.png
How It WorksI built Captionzâext to read the captions (and autoâtranslated ones) on YouTube, then sync them with the Captionz web app. Many videos only include one autoâgenerated track, autoâtranslate provides the second. Pick your two languages and watch them side by side. No complicated setup, no secret switches.
A Brief HistoryFive years ago, I launched the first version of Captionz. My debut post on Reddit was a hit: âI made a site that helps you watch YouTube with dual subtitlesâ.
Back then, I didnât need an extension. YouTube captions were public; you could request and download tracks, and Captionz could combine languages freely.
Later, YouTube restricted external caption requests. To keep things working, I added a handy button in Dictionariez so users could still open videos on Captionz with dual subtitles â at least for videos that had multiple tracks by default.
A few months ago, YouTube encrypted caption requests, which made access harder. I switched to a simple, privacyâfriendly approach with a lightweight extension and separated Captionz from Dictionariez. That keeps Dictionariez focused and gives Captionz users a stronger, dedicated tool.
And yes: I made Captionzâext free and openâsource. Highâfives all around.
Who Itâs For Learners: Compare native + target language subtitles in real time to build comprehension and confidence. Teachers & Tutors: Use any YouTube video for bilingual instruction with AâB looping and notes. Polyglots: Switch language pairs and autoâtranslate to explore content across the world. Casual Viewers: Understand more, fasterâwithout pausing to look things up. Quick Start Chrome: Install from the Chrome Web Store. Edge: Install from Microsoft Edge Addâons. Firefox: Firefox Addâons.Open any YouTube video and click âWatch on Captionz.â Or rightâclick a video link and choose âOpen in Captionz.â Pick your two languages, turn on autoâtranslate if needed, and youâre set. Your coffee can stay hot; setup is quick.
Manual Installation (Alternative) Download the source code from GitHub. Go to chrome://extensions/ in your browser. Enable Developer mode (top right). Click Load unpacked and select the extension folder. PrivacyI aim for minimal, respectful integration. Captionzâext only accesses captions needed to enable features and does not collect personal browsing history. Read the privacy policy for details and updates.
FAQs Do dual subtitles work on all videos? It depends on captions. Many videos have only one autoâgenerated track; turn on autoâtranslate to add the second language. Which languages are supported? Autoâtranslate covers most languages YouTube supports. Dual subtitles work when two tracks exist or one is autoâtranslated. Do I need the Captionz web app? The extension helps on YouTube and pairs with Captionz for AâB repeat, notes, and more. Together is best. Does this work on Shorts? Not at the moment. Do you really want it to work on Shorts? Comment below to let me know. Is it free? Yes â and there are no AI translation fees. Autoâtranslate is provided by YouTube; Captionz just enhances the experience. Call to ActionInstall Captionzâext (itâs free) and try dual subtitles on your next video:
