Partial The browser extension UI and tap-to-translate features are straightforward. However, getting reliable word-level timed subtitles from Shorts and a trustworthy level-based vocabulary model are harder pieces.
What it would actually take: Use a browser extension that reads caption tracks and timing, dictionary APIs for translation, and frequency or CEFR word lists for difficulty. A spaced-repetition-style scheduler handles the 'Smart Scroll' resurfacing. The main hard parts are reliable caption access despite platform restrictions and a calibrated difficulty model that needs language-learning expertise.
