Description from store
This is a simple extension to help you expand your vocabulary in a new language. Once installed, the extension will automatically scan every website you visit for word pairs in the target language and swap in the translations.
If a foreign word is giving you trouble, you can easily highlight it and right-click to have the English translation listed for you. Click the word in the context menu to hear the word's pronounciation. You can also open up the extension menu to see the entire dictionary of words for that page, along with information on word gender and number.
Extension settings allow you to change the density and difficulty of the foreign words used.
Sometimes you might want to quickly read a page in English if the foreign words are giving you trouble: simply press "Disable Once" in the extension's menu to switch the page back to the original English. Alternatively, if you want to prevent pages on a given website from ever being altered, just press "Disable Domain" in the extension menu.
The ONLY information stored by the extension is which sites you've chosen to disable it on. No ads, free forever, etc etc.
Languages supported:
* Russian
* Korean
UPDATE (v2.0.0): updated for compatibility with Manifest v3, and added support for Korean in addition to the original Russian

- (2023-07-07) John Blaszczyk: It works, but I feel like it's a really bad way to learn a language. For example, I see спина constantly, but it's almost always being used in English as "back" in the verb form (like "back in the day"), so I feel like this would make me basically learn the wrong word for "back" in Russian. Now if this extension would do entire sentences, it would make a lot more sense and be a better tool because it I would assume you could utilize a proper translation tool to differentiate between verb and noun forms of words.
- (2022-05-29) Дмитрий Шапран: Guys, this is very dangerous. I understand that you have the best intentions but this thing here is very misleading. First of all, it translates words randomly, no context whatsoever, and often the meanings just do not match. Second, it can't tell a difference between a noun and a verb and just translates everything as nouns. And last but not least, Russian has such thing as cases. Seeing nouns in the sentences like that may seriously harm your Russian because you need to get used to seeing them in case forms and this extention doesn't provide that. Developers, please, take this seriously. What you did can actually sabotage learners. I'm so sorry to say that but there is no way to sugar-coat it P.S.: I am a native Russian and I have exprerience teaching Russian.
- (2020-09-21) TelepathicTortoise: I like it, but it some quality of life changes could be made. Highlighting the words that are changed to Russian would be good for quickly finding them, and not having to highlight them manually in order to see their English translation would be ideal, though not necessary.
- (2017-01-07) Thomas Keeley: Really great idea for an app, could do with a bit of improving though. Some sort of choice over which words to convert in a dictionary and perhaps a frequency of changing them choice. Otherwise, really fast and reliable, does as described!
- (2017-01-04) Nathan Burke: It does what it says it does! The original english words could be better viewed though.
