Description

Intended for English speakers, this extension logs the words you look up in the WordReference translation dictionary corresponding to a selected language, so you can later retrieve them for study, as well as providing some translation services through WordReference.

Press Ctrl+Shift+Z to view a the WordReference translations to English of a selected word, and log it for further study.

Press Ctrl+Shift+X to view the WordReference conjugation chart of a selected verb, conjugated however you remember it, and log it for further study (not applicable or available for some languages).

SUPPORTED LANGUAGES: French, Mandarin, and Spanish (Hopefully more will be added soon)

KNOWN ISSUES AND FIXES:
Chrome prevents extensions like BabelFix which use certain services from running when a 'chrome:// tab' is open. This prevents malicious extensions from changing the user interface that might be used to control them. If you've a 'chrome://' tab open—eg. the browser settings—close it and BabelFix should work.

BabelFix will ignore the keyboard shortcuts if they conflict with others. The ones given work for me, but it's entirely conceivable that's because of my unique computer configuration. I'm working on functionality to allow each user to set their own shortcuts.

----------VERSION HISTORY---------
Version 1.1.0: Displays errors more intelligently, changed keyboard shortcuts to better work with other extensions or newer version of Chrome. Took away support for logging every WordReference search until I can work out some kinks here. Added to popup.

Version 1.0.2: Fixed bugs where unwanted punctuation could get into longer searches

Version 1.0.1: Minor bug fixes and enhancements: no expanding white space above words, filters out punctuation. This will likely be the last update in a while since I have college to return to.

Version 1.0.0: Major bug fixes

Version 0.9.9: Selected words persist over long time periods, selected words can be cleared, and Ctrl+Shift+C can be used to used to view verb conjugations for any conjugation of a French verb.

Version 0.9.1: Selected text is stored in the extensions popup.html in a format easy to convert to Quizlet flashcards later.

Version 0.9.0: Selected text can be translated via a Ctrl+Shift+Y in a non-intrusive popup window.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
