Francisco Alonso (ID: 0000003cadeec563) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/16/2020 I just made a test and it worked perfectly. Great extension.

Ryan Mease (ID: 0000003b6629e49b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/31/2019 I did a quick test of this extension using my access to the Loeb Classical Library, where it makes a good service even better. As of this writing (January 31, 2019), the script seems to play well with the Loeb texts. If I am not mistaken, it even has the ability to smartly recognize which language is present on the page. I looked at some Latin text and it translated from Latin. I switched to a Greek work and it was suddenly pulling from Greek.
