What Are Web Dual Subtitles?
No need for Picture-in-Picture mode—display dual subtitles directly on the web video:
Video Frame
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Bonjour, bienvenue sur ma chaîne. │ ← Original
│ Hello, welcome to my channel. │ ← Translation
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
Watch videos with dual subtitles while browsing—learning feels more natural.
