Cantonese Popup Dictionary
Cantonese-English pop-up dictionary for Chrome
Cantonese-English pop-up dictionary for Chrome. Simply hover the mouse pointer over Chinese words to have both the definition and pronunciation displayed via a pop-up window in real-time. Pronunciation is displayed as Yale romanisation with tone numbers (other configurations are not supported at this time).
This plugin is based on the "Perapera Chinese Popup Dictionary" plugin for Chrome (which is in turn based on several other projects including Rikaikun, Rikaichan and RikaiXUL), with the dictionary replaced with data from Cantonese CEDICT project. The original copyright notices remain intact within the package source files. I take no credit for this; it was a quick and easy hack using existing resources.

This is the best Cantonese pop-up dictionary. PLEEEEEEEASE update the extension. Chrome says it will stop working soon... PLEEEEEASE thank you very much for this dictionary
I wish it used an established romanisation system (Jyutping) rather than a completely made-up one.

Four stars for usefulness. The only reason it's not 5* is that it uses some weird romanization system that isn't jyutping and isn't Yale. I don' know what it is. Once you get used to it it's fine, but I don't see any reason not to use the most common system.

The Yale romanisation is fine, but the definitions are incorrect. Seems like it's pulling from a Mandarin dictionary instead of a Canto one.

These kinds of apps are a lifesaver for learners of hanzi based languages. Thank you so much! I hope in the future there would be one for Min Nan too

Excellent and outstanding. I mostly used Cantofish until now on Firefox, but with the latest version of Firefox it doesn't work any more. This pop up dictionary is the only other one I have found,apart from Android apps, and I sure hope that it will remain available. There's no alternative.

Great and with no equivalent. I would even put 6 stars once the same options available for the Mandarin add-on will be added.

I never rate any apps online. This is by far one of the most useful add-ons I have ever come across (other than uBlock/Adblock).

Like others have said, the lack of jyutping is unfortunate.

Really enjoy using "N" or "M" progress the next character/word.

I would love to see an option for Jyutping, but other than that it's really good.
