Subtitles

TrangoPlayer works with two subtitle tracks per video: an original subtitle (the language you're learning) and an optional translation subtitle (shown alongside it).

Original subtitle

Opening a video automatically looks for a subtitle file with the same name next to it (video.mp4 → video.srt) and links it if found — see Opening your first video.

If none is found, open the "Subtitles…" dialog from the top bar. Its first section shows either the linked file, or — if none was found — an empty state with a "Generate subtitles" button that transcribes the video's audio automatically. See Generating subtitles automatically.

Translation subtitle

The dialog's second section lets you link a second .srt file as a translation track, using the same in-app file browser as elsewhere in TrangoPlayer, scoped to .srt files next to the video. Picking one merges it in immediately.

The two tracks don't need to have the same number of lines — TrangoPlayer matches them up by comparing each line's timing, not its position in the file, so a hand-timed original and a machine-generated translation still line up correctly.

Showing the translation

Once a translation is linked, the current-sentence card's toggle switch (or the Ctrl+T keyboard shortcut) shows or hides the translated line underneath the original. It's off by default, works in both playback modes, and is purely visual — it never affects what's playing.
