Translation Reminder is an extension designed to help you learn new words.
This extension gives you ability to select any text on the page and define it for future using. You can either use Bing translator or specify definition manually. After translation is specified you just press Enter and thereafter selected text will be highlighted and whenever it's met in other pages it will be highlighted as well.
Currently the extension is available for:
You might find it helpful if you learn new language or new subject. When you have a lot of new words it is hard to memorize all of them and keep up learning.
Translation Reminder can help you with it by highlighting the words you don't know and displaying definition of those words. Thereby you can always focus on the words you don't know and see how frequent hence important they are.
How to use:
- select a word on the page holding the Ctrl key
- in appearing for specify translation/definition or use Bing translator to get translation
- press Enter
Features:
- words highlighting
- word hits counting
- personal dictionary
- build in Bing translator
- options page (change language of translation)
Hope you will find it useful and helpful.
In my turn I will continue working on improving existing functionality and adding new. If you have the ideas how to make it better feel free to share them. I would appreciate anything that could make Translation Reminder better.
Hi! Your chrome extension is so helpful to me, I'm so glad that I've found it. :)
ReplyDeleteI would also like to practice word spelling and memorizing using that.
Now I'm using it with this app: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/studyflashcard/nkphladabjlchdfieognjohminmkgijn?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog.
So I can even practice the words on my android mobile while traveling.
For that I copy the word list into a spreadsheat, and upload it to the app to practice.
The "problem" is that I have to delete manually the the word hit data, and the I know it link text. Can showing them be options in settings?
Or downloading / uploading spreadsheets (.csv files, or even xls or google spreadsheet) from and to the extension?
What do you think?
Clearing the list could be also an option.
I'm collecting my vocabulary list, by chapters of an ebook.
As time goes the list would be too big.
Hello there! I am nothing but happy to know that the extension is being useful for you!
ReplyDeleteAs to the changes you propose, it shouldn't be too difficult to add these features.
So in the near future I will be able to get back to the extension and revive it a bit.
Thank you for contacting me. I will do my best to make extension as useful as possible.
Thank you so much! :)
ReplyDeleteOn my system, it's not working as expected -- I think the word to be translated isn't going to Bing. A control-click highlights the word, the translation box opens, but the the translation never appears. The progress indicator just continues to spin, until the box is closed.
ReplyDeleteHas bing changed their interface? Is this still working, on your system?
Let me know what you think is happening and what can I do to fix this.
This is with Opera v.37.0 and
Linux Mint 17.3
Sorry ... false alarm. It's working.
ReplyDeleteFor the benefit of anyone following these posts, Opera detected the translation as coming from an 'insecure site' -- and blocked it. The warning gives the option for the user to override it, and I accepted the override, then the translation coming from bing appeared -- as it's supposed to.
In Opera, the warning message appears in the address bar, extreme right-hand side.
Now that I've given permission, it seems to work OK on consecutive attempts.
Thanks, this is a great Opera extension! :-)
