Description
Look up Korean & Chinese words while browsing the web. Hover over characters to see definitions, save words, and more.
Best Chinese-English and Korean-English pop-up dictionary. Now makes Netflix subtitles accessible to language learners. Finally back after being switched to MV3 as required by Google. Note vs the MV2 version it will be slightly slower on startup. Unfortunately this is unavoidable with the changes Google has made to extension requirements.
All Languages
- Hover to look up words in Korean and Mandarin Chinese - Simplified and Traditional
- Select a sentence to break it apart into its individual words
- Play words and sentences back with text to speech
- Watch learning subs on Netflix that show both your target and native language
- Turn on and off the extension and adjust settings via the icon on the browser
- Adjust target language font size for better readability

- Fast and simple
Netflix

Caveats
- Extension will not work on Chrome Web Store pages

- If a tab was already open during installation, you may need to refresh the page to activate the extension for the page
