LPlayer is a video player that helps you translate text or words of subtitles, get the meaning of phrases and words of foreign languages or something complex/unknown on your native language
If you are studying a foreign language then you are possibly trying to watch movies, films or tv series in their original language
This app will help you understand phrases and words you don't know when you have such videos with subtitles in a foreign language
It can also be useful when you watch documentary, scientific, etc. films on your native language to get the meaning of difficult/unknown phrases, words, terms, abbreviations
When you play a video with subtitles you can:
- select the phrases and words in the subtitles to open them in a translate or dictionary app (see the list of available apps below)
- move (seek) between subtitles (phrases), repeat current subtitle using buttons or gestures
If you don't have subtitles for some videos on your device you can try to find and download them using this app ("Menu/Subtitles/Search Subtitles")
