Mino TranslatorWatch YouTube in any language
Bilingual subtitles for videos, instant translation for any text you select, with a clear ZIP install guide.
There when needed, invisible when not
Four core features — subtitles, voice transcription, selection translation, and model setup — each doing its job without getting in your way.
Voice transcription
Download a desktop app, double-click to run. No captions? Mino listens to the video and translates anyway. GPU speeds it up.
Selection translation
Select any text and a lightweight translation bubble appears. Read and move on.
Free model included
Agnes AI ↗ is free — sign up and grab your API key to get started. Also supports DeepSeek ↗, OpenAI ↗, Gemini ↗, and any OpenAI-compatible model of your choice.
Quick install
Download ZIP, load into Chrome, and start using it immediately.
Customize the look
Font size, color, opacity, position — adjust the subtitles to your liking.
Watch the video, not the translation
Bilingual subtitles overlay the video with adjustable opacity and font size. You focus on the content — Mino handles the translation.
Popup panel, in and out
Open a captioned YouTube video and Mino detects available tracks automatically. Click the icon to open the panel, choose your target language, and start translating. A lightweight notification appears in the corner when done — no tab switching needed.
No captions? Mino can still translate
Download the desktop app, double-click to open, and leave it running. Go to your video and click Translate — Mino handles everything else automatically.
