Highlight any German word — or phrase — to instantly see its definition, conjugation, translation, and more. 🇩🇪 GERMAN WORD LOOKUP — Your ultimate German learning companion Tired of switching tabs to look up German words? Just highlight any word on any webpage — a smart badge appears, click it, and the full definition pops up right there. No interruptions. No tab switching. No distractions. ────────────────────────────── 🆕 WHAT'S NEW IN SECOND VERSION 1.1.0 ────────────────────────────── 🌐 PHRASE TRANSLATION Highlight multiple words or a full sentence to get an instant English translation — not just single words anymore. 🔑 DEEPL INTEGRATION (Optional) Get more natural, accurate English translations by connecting your own free DeepL account. No credit card required — DeepL's free tier is generous. If you prefer not to set it up, the extension continues to work with our built-in translation service automatically. Configure it in Settings → Better Translations. 💡 Tip: If you think your DeepL key has expired, hit its monthly limit, or was entered incorrectly, use the "Remove DeepL key" button in Settings to instantly switch back to the basic translation service — this avoids slow failed requests to DeepL on every lookup. ⚙️ FULL SETTINGS PANEL A clean, non-technical settings panel with four cards: • Better Translations — connect DeepL for higher quality output • Lookup Behavior — toggle auto-pronounce and instant lookup • Appearance — choose tooltip size (Small / Medium / Large) and accent color (Blue / Teal / Purple) • My Words — export your vocabulary as a CSV file or clear all saved data 🎨 ACCENT COLOR THEMES Personalize the extension with your preferred accent color: Blue (default), Teal, or Purple. The color applies to the tooltip, buttons, and popup consistently. 📐 TOOLTIP SIZE CONTROL Choose Small, Medium (default), or Large tooltip size to match your screen or reading preference. ⚡ INSTANT LOOKUP MODE Enable "Instant lookup" in Settings to look up a word the moment you highlight it — no need to click the badge first. 🔊 AUTO-PRONOUNCE Enable "Auto-pronounce" in Settings to hear every looked-up word spoken aloud automatically. ⬇️ EXPORT VOCABULARY AS CSV Download all your saved words as a CSV file — ready to import into Anki, Excel, Google Sheets, and more. 🐛 BUG FIX Fixed: Words at the start of a sentence (e.g. "Der", "Die", "Das") were not being found because the dictionary is case-sensitive. The extension now automatically retries with the correct casing when the first lookup fails. ────────────────────────────── WHAT IT SHOWS YOU ────────────────────────────── 📖 ENGLISH MEANING Instant definition powered by Wiktionary — the world's largest free dictionary. No account needed, completely free forever. 🌐 PHRASE TRANSLATION Highlight any multi-word phrase or sentence and get an instant English translation. 🏷️ PART OF SPEECH See immediately whether the word is a Verb, Noun, Adjective, Adverb, and more. 🔑 VERB CONJUGATION For every verb, see the 4 most important forms instantly: • Präsens (3rd person) — e.g. "gehört" • Präteritum — e.g. "gehörte" • Partizip II — e.g. "gehört" • Imperativ — e.g. "gehöre" 🧠 SMART INFLECTION DETECTION Select any verb form like "bietet" and the extension automatically finds the base verb "bieten" and shows the full conjugation. 🔊 AUDIO PRONUNCIATION Click the speaker button to hear any German word spoken aloud in authentic German pronunciation — powered by your browser's built-in speech engine.
