    🌍 Introducing Translation Pro: Instant Text Translation in Dictionariez

    Hi everyone! I almost forgot to announce one of the biggest features of Dictionariez... 😅

    Translation Pro has actually been live since v6.4.0, and we're already at v6.4.2! I've been working like a machine recently, pushing updates so fast that I forgot to properly introduce this milestone feature. Better late than never, right?

    So let me officially introduce Translation Pro - the powerful text translation feature that's been quietly revolutionizing language learning for our users.

    What's New with Translation Pro?

    Building on the success of our TTS Pro feature, Translation Pro uses the same intuitive interface but for instant translation:

    Select any text on any webpage and get instant translations Support for 20+ major languages with accurate AI-powered translations Premium Google translation service - superior quality to most providers Same convenient bubble interface - just look for the 🌐 icon Works everywhere - from news articles to social media posts

    Whether you're learning a new language, reading foreign content, or just curious about what something means, Translation Pro makes it effortless.

    Superior Translation Quality

    Translation Pro uses Google's professional translation service - the same technology powering Google Translate Pro. This means you get:

    Higher accuracy than most translation providers Better context understanding for natural translations Professional-grade quality suitable for serious language learning Consistent results across all supported languages

    The difference in quality is immediately noticeable, especially for complex sentences and technical content.

    How It Works

    The user experience is beautifully simple:

    Select text on any webpage (single words, sentences, or paragraphs) [optional] Press Ctrl (or your configured key) to show the action bubble (you can configure the modifier key in settings) Click the translation icon 🌐 to get instant translation View results in a clean, non-intrusive popup Click the speaker icon in the translation popup to hear it read aloud!

    Just like TTS Pro, Translation Pro uses the same isolated web component architecture that ensures zero interference with the original website.

    Perfect for Language Learners

    Translation Pro is designed with language learners in mind:

    Learn vocabulary in context - see how words are used in real sentences Understand complex texts - translate difficult passages instantly Compare languages - great for Swedish learners reading 8sidor or other native content Pronunciation practice - translate text, then have the translation read aloud with one click High-quality learning - professional-grade translations ensure you're learning correctly Technical Excellence & Design

    Like all Dictionariez features, Translation Pro is built with quality in mind:

    Open source - you can explore the implementation Web Components & Shadow DOM - completely isolated from website scripts and styles Auto theme adaptation - automatically adapts to your OS light/dark theme Universal compatibility - works on all websites without interference Premium Google translation API - professional-grade translation quality

    Note: While I've tested extensively, if you encounter any website compatibility issues, please let me know so we can improve the experience.

    Language Support

    Currently supporting 20+ major languages including:

    English ↔ Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese English ↔ Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Japanese, Korean English ↔ Russian, Arabic, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian And many more!

    Want a language we don't support yet? Please leave a comment or open an issue - I've been actively expanding language support based on user feedback!

    Recommendations for Extension

    Hi River,

    Firstly, just want to say this is by far the best extension I've seen when it comes to finding definitions and enabling easy translations, so thank you for all that you do!

    If I could provide a couple recs (and keep in mind I'm a neophyte when it comes to this stuff), it would be great if users were able to:

    Select a default dictionary that is utilized when defining words outside of the double-click functionality, and Improving recognition of loanwords, especially within English dictionaries and for words that have accents present. Paradigmatic example is détente.

    Again, want to reiterate that this is by far the best Language/Dictionary extension I've ever used, so thank you for your enterprise in creating something so beneficial for us.

    🔊 Introducing TTS Pro: AI-Powered Text-to-Speech Comes to Dictionariez v6.3.0

    Hi everyone! I'm thrilled to announce that the powerful text-to-speech player from PNL Reader has now been integrated into Dictionariez. This exciting new feature makes language learning more accessible and convenient than ever before.

    What's New?

    With TTS Pro, you can now:

    Select any text on any webpage and have it read aloud instantly Support for multiple languages with realistic AI voices High-quality pronunciation that surpasses many existing solutions Seamless integration that works across all websites

    For Swedish learners specifically, I'm confident you'll find our AI voices significantly better than what's available on 8sidor and other platforms. The natural intonation and pronunciation make it perfect for improving your listening comprehension and pronunciation skills.

    The Technology Behind It

    As always, Dictionariez remains open-source, so you can explore the implementation yourself on our GitHub repository. Here's what makes this feature special:

    Web Components Architecture: I've wrapped the entire TTS player using web components with shadow DOM Complete Isolation: The player operates independently from the host website's context No Interference: Scripts and styles from the original website won't affect Dictionariez, and vice versa Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly across all websites, including complex applications like Epic Games login pages

    This technical approach ensures reliability and compatibility while maintaining the integrity of both the original website and our extension.

    Pricing and Availability

    Since TTS Pro utilizes premium AI services that incur costs per request, this feature is included in our PNL Pro plan. However, I believe in letting you experience the quality first-hand, so I've included a generous free trial for everyone.

    ⚡ Last Hours of 11.11 Offer!

    Hurry! The 11.11 special offer with 80% off is ending in just a few hours! Don't miss out on this amazing deal.

    🎯 Third Launch Offer Coming Tomorrow

    If you miss the 11.11 deal, our Third Launch Offer starts tomorrow with 70% off — still a fantastic discount to celebrate the TTS Pro release!

    Dictionariez on Chrome Dictionariez on Firefox Dictionariez on Microsoft Edge

    Try it free: Select any text on any webpage and look for the speaker icon

    Interesting language ideas?

    Great app, I just discovered Dictionariez. Thanks!

    Just thinking out loud:

    Defining Greek/Latin roots, stems, and prefixes found in words, along with the definition. Like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Greek_and_Latin_roots_in_English
    This may only be applicable to English?

    Programming language classes and methods could also be included, using official documentation maybe?

    Coming from the Anki world, using this tool to build decks.

    Thanks!

    Introducing 'Help Me Refine'—now available on Dictionariez v5.4.0! Enhance your writing with AI.

    🎉 Hi everyone, I hope you're having an amazing week!

    Great news—Dictionariez v5.4.0 is out, and it comes with a brand-new feature that I'm personally loving: "Help Me Refine", which utilizes AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini. 🤖✨

    AI is everywhere these days, and instead of just using it to look up word meanings, I’ve found something even more exciting—it can help refine my writing! 📝💡 Before I send a tweet on BlueSky, write an email, or draft documentation for my projects, I always ask ChatGPT to polish my text. It's become a go-to tool for me!

    That’s why I decided to build this feature into Dictionariez as a first prototype. 🛠️ Here’s how it works:

    ✅ Type your text in a web editor (like on BlueSky)
    ✅ Select your text
    ✅ Click the Dictionariez icon (or use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + X by default)
    ✅ Let the AI tool refine your message instantly! ✨

    It’s amazing how helpful AI tools like ChatGPT can be in this situation! 🔥

    This feature works seamlessly on GitHub, Gmail, BlueSky, and even within our Programming & Language community. 🌍 I hope it will work across all web editors, everywhere!

    💬 Give it a try and let me know what you think! Your feedback will help make this feature even better. 🚀😊
