interSubs

Interactive subtitles for mpv, that was made to help study languages.
Easily tweaked and customizable.

This is a fork of this plugin This is especially configured for Malayalam Dictionary. There are so many dictionaries are available as given below. dictml.dict is an english to malayalam offline tab divided dictionary. you can also enable google translate too. but it will take more time and need good internet connection, so it is not activated by default. you can edit and activate it in interSubs_config.py open interSubs_config.py and go to line number 28. change it into translation_function_names = ['tab_divided_dict','google']
