Which software I should use for movies ?


Question

I see DVD movies with English subtitles . sometimes , I don't understand few English Word meaning. Is there any tool which could explain the meaning when I point the mouse on the word ?

For example:

In one movie subtitle reads: "...to build giant aluminum smelting plants" .

say , I dont understand "smelting plant"

In this case , I want when I put the mouse on "smelting plant" on the subtitle , the tool/software will tell me the meaning of .

Is there any such helpful tool ?

I dont know any application that can do so.

But, I think you can translate the subtitle file using an online translator, save it in a new file, and load the new file with the movie. Not perfect, but better than nothing.

I don't think any programs can do that. Try this instead: when you see a word/group of words/phrase you don't know the meaning to, make a note of it on a piece of paper/Google Doc/etc and remember to look it up either during the movie or after the movie is complete.

Then there will be no charm watching the movie. :(

looking for a quick meaning finder tool. Alternatively , need something which could save time.
