A browser extension that rewrites the language code in the URL to navigate between localized Microsoft Learn pages instantly.
🔧 Technical Feature Summary
- Browser extension to quickly switch display language on Microsoft Learn
- Supported browsers: Chrome / Edge (via Chrome Web Store), Firefox (including mobile)
- Triggered via extension icon or context menu
- Rewrites the language code in the URL (e.g., en-us ↔ ja-jp) to redirect the page
- If any non-en-us language page is opened, it will always redirect to en-us automatically

- Only works on the domain `learn.microsoft.com`
- Does not provide translation itself — it simply redirects to the appropriate Microsoft-hosted localized page
