Giving this 3 stars. The idea is really good, great in fact however. After about 90 minutes of watching Botan's currently ongoing stream only 1 translated line showed up. At that point I just found the extension pointless.

This extension heavily relies on there actually being translators in the chat translating and tagging the translation correctly.

From what I've seen they are trying to get clipping teams together for this project, but if you have say 20-30 Hololive members go live at once and you only have 10 translators active at that time what are you going to do?

If the extension can't actively translate OR work in non-live streams than what's the point I might as well wait for the clips to come out and get to know the streamer that way instead.

For this addon, livechat says I'm logged off, even though I'm already logged in to YouTube. Started occurring on Firefox update 126.0.1

For people studying Japanese, this is a very good study tool for gathering real-time translations and then reviewing the script and spoken JP after stream ends.

Some suggestions:

(1) Would like to see it show translations when it's not live.

(2) When skipping to a certain time frame, all subs are loaded appropriately.

(3) Have the option to show the "watching now | started streaming" stats, as well as the description.
