There are two types of translations:
- the machine translation, which is very literal and helpful if you want to understand the sentence structure
- the human translation, which, is useful for learning idioms and other phrases

You can select your language level and then it will highlight the most common words based on your level.
You can control the player with these keys:
- 'a' for the previous subtitle
- 's' to repeat a subtitle
- 'd' to for the next subtitle
- 'space bar' to play/pause playback
