Watch, translate and save - without leaving the player
Open any video from Yalango's curated library or paste a YouTube URL of your own. A side panel opens beside the player with three tools: a translate tab, a word bank and a notes section.
Type any word or phrase you heard in the video and Yalango translates it instantly. Save it to your word bank with one tap, then push it into a spaced-repetition flashcard deck. Your entire session is tied to that video so you can resume it later exactly where you stopped.
Watch the content you actually enjoy
Immersion works best when you love what you are watching. Yalango Watch works with any YouTube video - use the curated library or bring your own link.
Browse curated videos by language, channel and duration - or paste any YouTube URL to open it with the full side panel.
Open Watch & LearnThree tools built for active watching
Passive watching is comfortable but slow. The Yalango side panel keeps you active without breaking the flow of the video.
Translate tab
Type any word or phrase from the video and get an instant translation between your source and target language. Every translation is timestamped so you know exactly when you heard it.
Word Bank
Every word you translate can be saved to your Word Bank with one tap. From there, push it straight into a spaced-repetition flashcard deck so you review it at the right time.
Timestamped Notes
Write notes while the video is playing and insert the current timestamp with one click. Copy your whole session to paste into your notebook or share with your tutor.

Frequently asked questions
What is Yalango Watch?
Yalango Watch is a YouTube-integrated language learning tool. You open any video - from our curated library or by pasting your own URL - and a side panel gives you translate, word bank and timestamped notes tools right beside the player. Everything you look up is saved to your account.
Is Yalango Watch free?
Yes. The core Watch experience - translate, word bank, notes, watch history and resume progress - is free on every Yalango account. No credit card needed.
Do I need subtitles on the video to use it?
No. The translate panel is a free-text box, not subtitle-based. Just type any word or phrase you heard and Yalango translates it instantly. It works with any video regardless of whether subtitles are available.
Can I watch my own YouTube videos, not just the curated list?
Yes. Paste any YouTube URL or video ID into the import field on the Watch page and Yalango opens it in the Watch player with the full side panel. Your imported videos are saved to your account so you can resume them later.
Which languages are supported?
Yalango supports over 180 languages for translation. You set your source and target language in your profile and every translation in Watch flows between those two languages automatically.
How does saving words to a flashcard deck work?
When you translate a word, a Save button appears in the Word Bank. Tap it and Yalango adds the word and its translation to a flashcard deck you choose. From there, spaced-repetition scheduling decides when you review it next - just like Anki, but built into the same app you watch with.
