About this extension

Search for Chinese characters and words in the CC-CEDICT dictionary and show pinyin and the English definition in a pop-up. With shortcuts for looking up matches in several external websites. Supports learning Chinese.

This is a fork and slight modification of the existing Zhongwen add-on by Christian Schiller. It provides support for lookup within an iframe and improved placement of the pop-up.
