LR is not saving words. I have a subscription to the pro version. I have saved about 2,000 Russian words. Everything has been working fine for the last month. However, this morning, i noticed that LR is not saving words from watching youtube videos. Words appear to be saved while watching the Youtube video. But when I open a new Youtube video, all of the saved words from the previous Youtube video have disappeared. LR will save words properly using other apps, but it will not save words from Youtube videos. Unfortunately, I only use LR for Youtube videos. Please fix this bug fixed quickly, like today.

I attach two screenshots while using LR with Youtube. Hopefully, this will help diagnose the problem. I just added the Russian word доделать from a Youtube video. Look at screenshot 1.
When I place my mouse cursor next to this word in the saved list to the right, a purple play button appears to the left of this word. When I click on this play button, nothing happens. Now look at screenshot 2. This shows the mouse cursor on the next Russian word down the list. This Russian word was successfully saved from a different source, not Youtube. You can see the same purple play button the left of the word. BUT, there is also a small blue dot on the purple play button, and when I click the play button, it sounds out the word. When I click “View All” at the top of the list, the Russian word доделать does not appear, so it was never saved.
@Edward Hello!
With the playing of the word you just saved, try refreshing the page and it will start playing. This is a temporary solution. I have reported this problem already and it has been sent to the developers.
About saving words, do you see all the other saved words from the “Saved” tab on the YouTube site under “Saved Items” at Language Reactor?
If not, make sure that you have the same Translation language and Study language selected on both LR and YouTube. (Because in the video I’ve attached below, you can see that if you have different study languages selected, the list of saved words changes)

And also whether you have selected the same account in the extension and on the website (see screenshot where you can check it).
Hi Angelina,
(1) Refreshing the page does not work. Also, when I click on the to tab “View All”, the word that I just added does not appear in the word list.
(2) Yes, I do see all the saved words under the saved tab. I have about 2,200 saved words, and they are all present in the saved word list. I can easily export all these words to an Excel file. However, I cannot save any more words. It’s like your software only allows me to put 2,200 words in my word list, and refuses to save any more.
(3) Yes, my study language is Russian, and my translation language is English for both. See jpg attachments.
LR was working just fine a few days ago, saving new words properly from Youtube. Then, suddenly, LR lost the ability to save new words. Nothing else changed.
Thanks,
Edward
