suggestion: sometimes it is better to be challenged and not to translate everything. I wish there was a way to only translate some of the world with some dictionary of words you don't want to translate.(you already know them)

I built something based on that principle. It picks a couple nouns from the subtitles and translates that. Its blanks everything else out. You can still follow the story while passively learning the nouns.
I'm working on a side project that does exactly that: translate everything except some words.
When I will have something ready I will add a comment in this thread
I really like this idea of leaving gaps every since I came across the videos by ItsNachoTime / DeliberateSpanish. Here is an example: https://youtu.be/7kbACgcnG8M?t=83
The idea is basically: Once the fill-in-the-blank text appears, stop the video, try to recall the previous sentence (letting the template help you) and repeat it until you can articulate it fluently – that way, you will improve your vocab but also train your hears, pronunciation and intonation.
Unless you're about to finish it today, you should probably post it as a "Show HN", otherwise almost nobody is going to see it.

You can check out my project as well, which does something similar.
