Angel Efrain (ID: 000000c1636c8871) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/12/2023 I really like the extension, but i´m having problems whit the japanese punctuation, if a press "." in the extension it appears as "。", but a can't find a way to do the same thing whit the rest of the japanese punctuation, shuch as "ー" "、"and other ones, does someone has figurit out?

Nhi Tran (ID: 000000925938b238) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/05/2023 I love this extension, it's exactly what I needed. One small suggestion though. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but, when switching between katakana and hiragana, the text disappears. So if I want to type a sentence with both of them, I need to write in hiragana, then copy the sentence, then change to katakana, then paste the sentence and repeat. If it's possible to make it so that when you switch languages, the text doesn't disappear, then that would be great! Either way, this extension is awesome!

Schleepy (ID: 0000009e3d20e4b7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/25/2023 Found out how to type those small characters for you guys. For むっつ, for example, write it out like this: "muttsu." The two T's indicate the small っ, and if you need a small ゃ like in ちゃ, just type "cha" and it automatically does it. If anyone here uses wanikani, it's super similar to the way you type japanese there.
