What's new:

• Upgrade to changes of Coursera UI at 2026-07.

Adapted to changes to the Coursera website (2024.01)
Fixed the automatic translation of subtitles.
Language code has been added to the file name of subtitles and texts.
The language is determined only by the language of the entire portal, not by the selected language in the video menu.
To change the language of subtitles that are different from the portal language, turn off the subtitle storage in the settings, and select the option to store additional subtitles and define your own list of additional languages.


Adapted to Coursera site changes (2023.10)


The integration of the video subtitle translation module (CST) into the automatic mode has been implemented.

• New option use automatic course name
• Automatic mode

• New option to add a video duration in minutes to the file name. The duration is rounded to the nearest whole number.
• If the video search function is enabled, a color mark is added to the list of videos in the left pane to indicate whether the file has already been downloaded.
  This mark changes when the page is loaded, analyzing the status of the file (new - green, existing - red).
  It also changes at the beginning of file download (yellow) and after all files are downloaded (red).
  The status of whether the file has been downloaded or not is calculated only on the basis of the previously saved video file.

Search for videos in a list. Find the name of the video in the list in the left pane. And scroll through the list to the name of the current video. It is useful when the module has a large number of sections and you need to take the course again, but in a different language. (https://youtu.be/ajOcopEuxGI)
