Translations appear in the learner's own language: 12 native languages are supported — Kurdish Sorani, Persian, Arabic, Turkish, French, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Hindi, and Urdu — plus English and German themselves. Subtitles work in both directions: watch English or German videos with a translation line in your own language below (click any word to save it), or watch videos in other languages (e.g. Persian, Arabic, Turkish, Russian) with your English or German learning line on top and your native language below.
