Usage

Reload any open YouTube page after installation. A translate button will then appear in the header of every comment.

Changing the language

By default, the extension translates to english (en). If the extension was installed from the crhome webstore, this can be configured by changing the Traget Language in the settings here: chrome://extensions/?options=alaejlmlpgcffloicejpccebbeeibemo.

When using a JavaScript injector as the installation method, manually edit inject.js and change line 5 (TARGET_LANGUAGE) to the desired language.

A list of supported languages can be found here: https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Usual-Language-Codes.html

Installation

When using chrome or any chromium based browser, it is recommended to install the extension directly from the chrome webstore.
