After years of relying on word-of-mouth and scattered links, I finally decided to create a proper landing page for Dictionariez, my all-in-one browser extension for instant word lookup, sentence translation, text-to-speech, and vocabulary building.

Why now? Well, it’s getting harder and harder to market the project without a proper address to share with users. I realized that having a centralized hub for the extension is essential, not just for showcasing its features, but also for building trust and making it easier for users to find and download the product.

The design of the landing page is heavily inspired by the Chrome Web Store extension pages. I wanted to keep things clean, functional, and focused on the product. The layout highlights the key features, user reviews, and FAQs, while keeping the overall experience simple and intuitive.

But I know there’s always room for improvement, especially when it comes to design.

So, here’s my invitation: roast my design! Whether it’s the layout, the color scheme, or the way I’ve presented the content, I’m open to all feedback. Let me know what works, what doesn’t, and how I can make it better.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

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!

Dictionariez is a language learning tool that supports a wide variety of languages. As our community grows, we're looking to expand our collection with more dictionaries. You can find and add these resources to your collection through Dictionariez Trove.

But we don't just need dictionaries—we're open to any websites that can improve the learning experience, like Wikipedia or Bing Image Search.

Your contributions are essential to helping us grow. Share your recommendations today and help us make Dictionariez even better!

How to add a new dictionary to your collection

To expand your Dictionariez collection, start by browsing Dictionariez Trove. If you don't find the dictionary you're looking for, you can easily add a new one in two ways:

By posting on pnlpal. By code. By posting on pnlpal

This is the way.
Create a new topic in the Dictionariez Trove section. Include the JSON code in markdown format within the topic content, and use relevant tags to categorize the dictionary.

Here’s a screenshot showing the creation of a new dictionary called 'Merriam Webster'.

By code

On the Dictionariez settings page, open Chrome's developer tool and use the following function:

addDict( { dictName: 'Google Search', windowUrl: 'https://www.google.com/search?q=<word>', css: '#searchform,#top_nav {display: none;}' } )

Note: The css code is optional and can be used to customize the target website to better fit the app.

Once added, the new dictionary "Google Search" will appear at the end of the dictionaries list of your Dictionariez. Click on it to open and test it out.
