Ver2.0.6 update: Fixed an issue where translations were incorrectly triggered in special input fields such as Reddit's search bar.

Hover over any English word on a web page and press the following shortcuts to get instant translations or speech.

Pointer + W: translate the word into your selected native language
Pointer + E: English-to-English definition
Pointer + F: translate the word into French
Pointer + S: translate the word into Spanish
Pointer + P: read aloud the paragraph containing the word
Pointer + R: read aloud the word, or any selected text, in your native language
Pointer + T: translate the selected text into your native language

After selecting text, pressing T also supports translating from your native language into English. You can change the native language from the browser’s extension icon → GhostDictionary.

The main translation window can be dragged. Clicking outside closes it, unless you pin it with the pin icon.

To pause the extension or disable it on certain pages or sites, hover over the red dashed marker at the bottom right of the page (it turns yellow) and use:
Pointer + P: disable on this page
Pointer + @: disable on this site
Pointer + Ctrl: toggle hibernation on/off
Pointer + mouse wheel up: open the list of blocked pages
Pointer + mouse wheel down: open the list of blocked sites

We plan to add a feature that delivers English practice questions via notifications. GhostDictionary uses the patented “Ghost Interface” GUI and related pending patents. Unauthorized imitation of the GUI is strictly prohibited.
