Questions and answers

Is VideoLango free?

Yes. VideoLango 1.0 is free and works without an account.

Which languages can I learn?

The catalog has 546 videos in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, Korean and Chinese. You can also paste a link to any YouTube video with subtitles.

Translations don’t appear.

The first time you translate into a language, iOS offers to download it. Allow the download and stay online until it finishes; after that, translation works without the internet. If it still doesn’t appear, check that the language is downloaded in the iOS Translate settings.

A video doesn’t play or has no subtitles.

VideoLango needs subtitles from YouTube. Some videos have none, and some owners don’t allow playback in other apps. Try another video.
