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.
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.
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
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.
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
