A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before the next episode.
Does NovelaBridge include a Globoplay subscription?
No. You need your own legitimate access to Globoplay and the episode. NovelaBridge does not unlock videos or bypass geographic restrictions.
Is the beta free?
Yes. The current beta has no NovelaBridge subscription or payment requirement. Any future paid plans will be explained before you choose to purchase.
Are my captions sent to a translation server?
NovelaBridge uses Chrome’s on-device translation. It retrieves captions from the streaming service or its content hosts; Chrome may download translation components. Read the privacy policy.
Will it translate every show perfectly?
No. It depends on an accessible, supported Portuguese caption track and Chrome’s translation capability. Machine translation can miss context, slang, or names. This beta helps us learn where it works well and where it needs improvement.
