Latest version
Version 1.9.2
Released Sep 18, 2026 - 6.93 MBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterHover or tap a word in the subtitle to see its pinyin reading and its meaning.
Lines are split into words, not loose characters: 感谢 is one word with the
definition of 感谢, rather than 感 and 谢 side by side.
Clicking a word takes the video back to where that word is spoken. The
subtitle track only timestamps whole lines, so the word's position is
interpolated within its line — on a long line that is the difference between
rewinding seven seconds and landing on the right word. A slider sets the
run-up, so the first syllable is not clipped.
In practice this is the most reliable way to hear a pronunciation: it is a
native speaker saying that word in that context, and it works in any browser
whether or not a Chinese voice is installed on the system.
The bundled dictionary now carries 114,944 Portuguese entries, covering all
of CC-CEDICT that has anything translatable in it. Measured on a real
18-minute episode, 99.7% of the words on screen have a Portuguese definition.
The translations are machine-made and are labelled as such, with the English
original shown underneath — where the two disagree, the English is the one
written by people. Structural dictionary markers (CL:, cross-references) are
deliberately left alone.
A new menu picks the definitions language independently of the interface
language, so the panel can be in one language and the definitions in another.
Backward and forward buttons of 0.5s, 1s, 3s, 5s and 10s over the player.
They earn their place on a phone, where hitting the scrubber precisely is hard.
A ? beside each setting explains what it does, as a floating popup that
does not shift the controls around. It works on hover and on touch, and is
translated into all seven bundled languages.
- The subtitle background is now an opacity slider from 0 to 100% instead of an
on/off switch. Anyone who had it switched off keeps it off. - The interface-language menu is now in the in-page panel as well, which is the
only one reachable in fullscreen and on Android.
- Mobile site (m.bilibili.com): the add-on did not appear unless the page
had first been loaded in desktop mode. - Changing video: clicking another video, or the player moving on by
itself, left the previous video's subtitles on screen. - Dictionary: a sense-separator bug affected 9.7% of entries, splitting one
sense into two. Words mixing letters with characters (B站, 3D打印) could not
be looked up at all. - System-voice pronunciation: when the browser accepts the voice and
produces no sound, the add-on now says so instead of appearing to do nothing.
