TIP (translate it, please) is a plugin for VLC media player that helps you to study languages by watching videos.

Features

The plugin allows you to repeat the past few seconds of video but with other audio/subtitle track by pressing just a key. Audio track will be switched back to the previous one at the moment in video where you pressed the key.

You can select the audio and subtitle tracks and period of time for translation in Preferences (in main menu go to Tools > Preferences, switch the Show settings radio button to All and in the left hand menu select Interface > Control interfaces > TIP).

The plugin adds new keyboard shortcuts to VLC:

/ to translate
Shift + / to repeat the last translated period

Installation

TIP works with VLC version 3.0.0 or higher.

To install the TIP plugin just copy the libtip_plugin.so file (libtip_plugin.dll for Windows) to the <path-to-vlc>/plugins directory.

OS	64-bit	32-bit
Linux	libtip_plugin.so	libtip_plugin.so

macOS Keyboard shortcut do nothing

Hello,

I completed the plugin installation successfully. After activated the plugin (checkbox), restarted VLC, I have to tell it doesn't work :/ the "SHIT + /" or "/" do nothing. I do have an English (US) keyboard.

VLC 3.0.16 macOS 11.6

Thank you:)

Smart jump size based on a subtitle record

When you press the key plugin could identify the most recent subtitle record and jump right to that point-100ms. However, plugin should take into account that subtitle track could be delayed (+/-) by user.

This feature is essential for people who use original audio track and subs
