Just select a word (or 2 or 3 making a whole expression) in the web page you're reading. Right-click on it and "Get the meaning for" it. Not_A_Translator will inject an inline tooltip with the meaning of the word in its native language. it also converts time and metrics. Why ? Because it may be better to get a definition for a word in its own language than a translation to learn this language and because it doesn't break the process of reading an article, as getting on another page to translate a word would do. Anyway you can translate also. Known limitation : It is not always working because of the design of some websites (javascripts, iframes can alter the tooltip creation) but as a simple refresh reverts it back, it is worth a try ! and we have developed a console mode now in latter version ! Although it recognizes multi-words idioms it may not find the definition sometimes. It's true for the conversion tools also as there are many ways to express the same thing. you can try to select less words or go directly to the dictionary page with the first button in the tooltip toolbar. Nota: We also have a safari version for iphones ready to upload but it needs funding (99$ for apple store publishing). if you're interested, feel free to use either paypal or bmc 'donate' through the 'i' button in the popup window of the extension or the soon to come one shot splash screen... supported dictionaries : -English, Spanish, French, Deutsch, Italian, Suomi (Latin+Greek for translation) -timezone & units conversions -temperature conversion -basic support for other languages for embedded words (for example a japanese word in an english article). supported locales for UI : English, French, Spanish, Finnish COMING SOON : - Maybe a safari version ? already coded but freeware needs contribution to get published ! you already can find a Firefox add-on and an Firefox for Android add_on version. - Surprise satellite/companion extension (extension for the extension) for donors (only ! that's some work guys, even with AI) ! Thumbnails illustrating definition, SenseMap (exclusive & very cool feature that situates the selected word in a map of synonyms, antonyms, hyperonyms, co-hyponyms, Meronyms/holonyms (=whole/parts...) that allows to grab word sense in a glimpse and get some vocabulary in the meantime). NOW : --> VERSION 8.2.31 : - Deutsche language for UI. - possibility to quick look up a word in whatever language (for example a japanese word in an english article) and get a definition (in English) in a tooltip too. - Caching and versioning for more used definitions (all dictionaries). - switch between def when system can't choose which one is the best - new expressions recognized for unit and time conversions.
