// Sorry for bad English.
I want watch movies in English with English subtitles, i think it should be helpful for learning language. But it's kinda annoying always pause movie to find word translation, so i thought, i need program which will find all words in subtitles file, and translate them, or at least collect them in a separate file. So i can learn them, then watch movie... Is there a program that do this? ty...

Maybe at your level it's better to use Russian subtitles (assuming that's your native language). You can also download the Russian subs and use them for reference, on a tablet or even printed out.
Consider Ilya Frank's method too :)

Subtitles are often summaries rather than exact translations, and quite a few times I
notice errors in the translation, as though the translator misunderstood something on the
soundtrack.
Having said that, following subtitles on say, a film DVD can be a useful language study
method. Sometimes I sit with a notebook and record the subtitles that way as a means of
discovering new vocabulary or grammatical patterns.
