Chrome extension to translate bilibili into English
Hey all! I decided to create this extension to help those who wanted to use Bilibili but were turned away by the language barrier. This extension will only do basics, and is not complete in any way. That would take a lot more time and effort than what is really required to just watch streams and videos.
I'll update it from time to time, but I do feel that I've mostly accomplished my goal of helping the user get around bilibili without too much trouble. Feedback is appreciated, and if you want to help contribute, let me know!
- Open chrome, open extension menu from Settings or type "chrome://extensions/" to address bar.
- Turn on "Developer mode"
- Press "Load unpacked" and select extracted folder. (You have to select whole folder)
- Press refresh icon (No need, just in case).
- Turn off "Developer mode".
- English will be overlayed a couple seconds after opening the page
- When switching between tabs, if there is no page refresh, that tab will not be translated. Hit refresh, and you should see the translations
- This translation only covers basic UI stuff, to help with navigation.
- Translations on pop-up windows
- Auto-refresh translation when moving between tabs
- Translations covering more aspects of Bilibili
- Increase code efficiency to make translations appear faster
