Sadly, the language choices seem to be stuck on English and German. Domage.I need French and English. The link to duckduckgo looks like it could be useful. I'll check back and try the language options again at another time. Good luck.

one of my favorite add ons

Grossartig! The Quick-Lookup translation is what I use most, so useful!

Ich benutze dieses App schon seit über einem Jahr und bin damit sehr zufrieden.
Besonders die Pocket-Version liefert mit einem Klick die notwendigen ausführlichen Übersetzungen.

A really nice translation add-on with nice features and almost the only translation add-on with a decent design.My only improvement advice is that the translation box shouldn´t cover the word ,it should float above or below the word

Not bad, bud you cant beat google translator

Dies ist ein wunderbares Werkzeug um sich beim lesen von englischen Texten die Verben hereinzuholen, die man noch nicht kennt oder wieder vergessen hat.

This is a wonderful tool to read English texts and to recoup Verbs, I'd forgotten or never known.

In Googenglish:
This is a wonderful tool to read the English texts of the verbs recoup that you know or have not yet forgotten. :-)

Comical translations. Outdated terms.
Comical voices and accents.
Google translator is far superior.

Very helpful, especially the Quick Translation with the online box.

But on Firefox 3.6.13, openSUSE, saving new languages or changing the order does not work. After closing the settings dialog there is no change. I have to edit it by about:config.
Then it would be helpful that an update from dict.cc would provide all languages that are available today.

Looks very good indeed as an interface to an exceptionally well designed dictionary. However, I'm regularly using a web site where all umlauts etc are set up as ö etc, so these words, which appear correctly in the dialogue, don't translate even though the words are in the dictionary (many pages on an educational site for learning DE) - this is select and popop window. The Ctrl+Shift interface works OK. Would be very good to fix this. I can't give a link as it's not public but if the developer let's me know how best to contact him, I can give more information.

From the first view I have to say wow! Version 2.4 has pretty much everything you missed in the first simple version.
All the new features work quite well. The points I criticised before (FF 4 compatibility and multi-language) are fixed. Also the inline translation is a great enhancement.
Though as with all big changes there are still some little flaws like not being able to select the languages in the options after hitting "Refresh", an incorrectly aligned inline translation and some others. That's why I just give four of five stars, but all in all a great improvement!

i like this addon, but its not compatible with the newer versions fo firefox. hope something will be done since its a nice addon

Nice extension. :)
It would be cool if you'd also give an option to activate Ctrl+Shift while selecting, which could open some layer with translation or new tab automatically. Thanks for considering. :)
