Overview
Translate Japanese fishing videos on YouTube into English subtitles — even videos with no captions. 2 free previews.
Translate My Hobby adds English subtitles to Japanese fishing videos on YouTube, including the many videos that have no captions at all. It's built by an angler for anglers who follow Japanese lure fishing, jigging, bass fishing, shore fishing and boat fishing channels, and it gets the rod, reel and lure names right where YouTube's auto-translate gets them wrong. Why it's better than YouTube auto-translate YouTube can only translate captions that already exist, and most Japanese fishing videos have none. When captions do exist, gear names get mangled: "スリルゲームの62ダブルエックスエイチエス" becomes "the thrill game 62 Double XHS". Translate My Hobby listens to the Japanese audio itself, reads the video title and description for brand and model names, and translates with fishing in mind, so you get "Thrill Game 62XXHS". What you get • English subtitles drawn on the YouTube player, in sync with the video. • Rods, reels, lures, line and fishing techniques named the way anglers say them. • Chinese subtitles too. Switch between English and Chinese any time. • Change subtitle size, color, background and position. • Videos that someone has already translated show subtitles right away. How to translate a Japanese fishing video 1. Open the video on YouTube in Chrome on a computer. 2. Click "Translate this video…" at the top right of the player. Nothing is charged on this click: you first see exactly what it will use, then click again to start. 3. Watch live progress while we listen to the Japanese. The first subtitles usually appear within a minute, the rest fill in as you watch, and then the whole video is polished once more. FAQ How much does it cost? New accounts get 2 free previews: the first 15 minutes of any 2 videos, no card needed. After that you buy minutes in one-time packs from US$9.90 (5 hours) to US$39.90 (24 hours). No subscription, and minutes don't expire. How are minutes counted? A video uses its length in minutes, once per subtitle language, when you confirm. Rewatching in the same language is free. Switching the same video to the other language is a new translation and uses minutes again. Do I pay inside the Chrome Web Store? No. There are no in-store purchases. You buy minutes on translatemyhobby.com, where card payments are processed by Waffo. The extension never sees your card. Translate My Hobby is sold by its developer, not by Google. Which videos work? Public YouTube videos up to 2 hours, watched in Chrome on a computer. Live streams, private and members-only videos, phones and other websites aren't supported yet. How accurate is it? It's a machine translation built for fishing. Gear names and fishing terms are much better than general auto-translate, but it can still make mistakes. What if a translation fails? The minutes (or the free preview) come back to your account automatically, and the card on the video tells you why it failed. Do I need an account? Yes, a Google account. There's no separate password. Chrome itself doesn't need to be signed in. What data do you collect? Your Google email, the YouTube videos you choose to translate and their length, your minute balance, and payment records. Videos you haven't translated are never sent to us until you click Translate. Videos you have translated are checked with our server when you reopen them, so your subtitles come back automatically. We don't collect your browsing history and we don't sell data. Privacy policy: https://translatemyhobby.com/privacy What's new in 1.0.7 • Videos up to 2 hours are now supported. • Quieter on YouTube: the Translate card only shows up on Japanese videos, and nothing appears during ads. The fish button next to CC is always there when you want it. • Problem with a translation? Open the fish menu and copy our email to tell us. • After the extension updates, YouTube tabs that were already open no longer show an error. Just refresh the page. Translate My Hobby is independent and not affiliated with YouTube, Google, Shimano, Daiwa or any channel.
