- Rated 2 out of 5by mutu, a year agoIt is a nice idea but the animations tend to stutter when browsing extensively and it can even make the entire page slow down. I look forward to use it once its performance cost is more seamless.
- Rated 2 out of 5by bb, a year agoWe need Traditional Chinese. Many of us prefer to learn the traditional system and Traditional Chinese is the official language of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, and used by many different Chinese diaspora groups. Please add support for this!
- Rated 2 out of 5by Qaz Cetelic, a year agoInteresting extension, however it sadly causes issues such as a very high CPU usage freezing the tab.

posted 2 years agoHey there! Your privacy is as important to us as it is to you, so I'd love to hear how we can improve. We detail exactly what we collect and why here: http://jointoucan.com/privacy. The TL;DR though is that we don't track what you search, purchase, input or anything like that. Toucan only has access to certain elements on web pages that allow us to translate words on the page. Feel free to reach out to me at taylor.nieman@jointoucan.com. :)
Obrigada,

- Rated 2 out of 5by Tai, 2 years agoIts a good idea, but at least for Japanese, its making word-for-word translations that are awkward or just don't fit in with the context with the rest of the sentence. e.g. "next week -> "next 週", "part of the beauty of the system is..." -> "part of 美しさ of the the system is...". It also changes things like URLs, which is a big nono for me.

posted 2 years agoHey there! Thanks so much for taking the time to write out this feedback! Sincerely appreciate it.
We also have a lot of new upgrades coming to our natural language processing and machine learning technology that I’m beyond eager for our users to experience. As you've noticed, languages are extremely complex and we're excited to have the opportunity to tackle this head-on and deliver an elegant solution to you.
I’m all ears if you have any other feedback at all. Feel free to shoot me an email at taylor.nieman@jointoucan.com. :)
Obrigada,

Co-Founder and CEO, Toucan - Rated 2 out of 5by S∀T∀N, 2 years agoGreat idea and implementation is fine, But it doesn't work for me sadly. Even after changing the language in account settings page (and in the initial setup page) to German, it still changes back to Spanish in my extension. When I click Change in the extension, the page it takes me to shows the correct language (German). I tried restarting and reinstalling but sadly it didn't work for me. I would prefer if there was a way to de it directly from the extension instead of redirecting me to a page where the changes I make don't get reflected back. I'll definitely try it again in some time because I love the idea, the implementation could do with a little polish.
