Translated by the line, not by the word
Highlight an unfamiliar word in subtitles, on a page or in a PDF. It is translated the way it sounds in that sentence, and it stays in your library.
A dictionary
Il n'est pas dans son assiette.
He is not in his plate.
Subtitle Notes
Il n'est pas dans son assiette.
He is not feeling well.
Subtitle NotesThe whole line is read, so the word gets the sense it has in it - not the first entry in a dictionary.
Il n'est pas dans son assiette.
