Smooth way to get translations without breaking my reading flow. Selected a tricky phrase in a Japanese article and it parsed it cleanly on the first try.
@rachel_tours Appreciate your kind words! 😊 I'm really glad it handled that Japanese phrase well and kept your reading flow smooth.
If you enjoy this, you might also like another Chrome extension I built: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ilfclajnojjanjncnlfamjifggopagoo?utm_source=item-share-cb. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that too. Thanks for the support! 🚀
honestly this looks super handy, like exactly what i needed for reading foreign articles. one thing though, would be great if you could add a hotkey to toggle it on and off without clicking the extension icon. sometimes i'm reading english stuff and the popups get annoying
@louis_byron Thanks so much, Louis! 😊 Really appreciate the feedback. We actually have a hotkey already—Alt + T—to instantly toggle the extension on and off, which should help in exactly that situation.
See the Yellow marked shortkey.

Honestly this sounds super handy for reading articles in other languages. One thing I'd love to see is the ability to save translated words or phrases into a personal glossary so you can review them later. Basically like a mini vocab list that builds up as you hover over stuff, that would make it stick for studying too.
@gideon_yao Thank you so much! 😊 That's a fantastic idea—we really appreciate the suggestion. A personal glossary is definitely something worth exploring, and we'll keep it in mind for future updates. Thanks for sharing! 🚀
The hover-to-translate flow is such a smart UX choice — feels like the translation just appears naturally instead of interrupting what I'm reading. Clean execution on something a lot of extensions overcomplicate.
@wesley_chia Thanks a lot! 😊 That was exactly our goal—to make translation feel effortless and unobtrusive. Really appreciate your kind words and support! 🚀
honestly this looks super useful for reading foreign articles, but one thing that would help a lot is letting users customize the trigger. like maybe a keyboard shortcut or a modifier key before hovering, so it doesn't randomly pop up and get in the way when i'm just scrolling through text. that would make it feel way less intrusive
@archermoore Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback, Archer! 😊 That's a great point. We actually have a built-in shortcut—Alt + T—to instantly turn the extension on or off whenever you want. We'll definitely keep customizable triggers in mind for future updates too. Thanks for the suggestion! 🚀

@archermoore See the Yellow Marked toogle key to ON and OFF the extension.
