Acerca desta extensão

Practice foreign languages while you surf the web! Automatically translate words within your web page into a foreign language based on your vocabulary level. Use while surfing the web entirely in a foreign language is too difficult.

Familiarize yourself with the words you tend to see on a daily basis, and practice word recognition with words within a meaningful context, similar to flash card practice. Click on any word to flip through many possible translations! Check out the Quiz Mode to test your knowledge.

Choose from 35 languages. Practice up to 4,300 of the most common words. Private, fast and free. All computation local. While the app has access to every web page, the app does not send data anywhere.

I recommend giving the app permission to run on every webpage, by going through "Manage Extension", to the "Permissions" tab, and selecting "Access your data for all websites".

All translations are done locally using wordlists scraped from wiktionary. If words are missing, it's because they weren't found on wiktionary. I do not speak most of these languages, so I have no idea the quality of the translations. Things seem surprisingly good with the ones I'm familiar with.

It is possible to bug the app out, which I'm still working on, but if that does happen, you only need to refresh the page for it to correct. The bugouts aren't page destroying in my experience, so it shouldn't be a huge problem (humbly speaking).

Minor bug fixes. I designed a stupid vocabulary listing system, which turned out to make problems when switching word translations on click. Fixed that.
