Furigana Extension

Furigana (振り仮名) is chrome extension that convert kanji (japanese text) to furigana, that is a japanese text with small hints above each word how to pronounce it. For known words it also displays english meaning of the word. It uses my own dictionary-based kanji tokenizer. Data are from EDICT dictionary plus my own data.

Unlike similar extensions (e.g. IPA Furigana), this one converts all kanji, not just the hard ones. It also converts hiragana and katakana.

For example:

Original: 時速５０１キロ体験！リニアモーターカー車内映像！

Furigana: jisoku 501 kiro taiken! rinia mootaakaa shanai eizou!

IPA Furigana: jisoku ５０１キロ taiken ！リニアモーターカーshanai eizou!

How to use it?

Select text you want to translate. Right-click to display context menu and choose \"Furigana\" with yellow icon. This will translate selected text.

Because sometimes it hard to select entire sentence, especially around the edges, when you select the middle of sentence, entire block of text will be translated.

You can also translate text in popup window (click on yellow icon in upper right corner, type text and press button \"Furigana\").

You can add new words to dictionary and publish it for others.

Eli Descartes (ID: 000000224b70c5ce) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/20/2023 anybody knows an extension like this that it translate korean hangul?

Mariana Fontana (ID: 000000475ef6eab6) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/11/2023 The app offers you the option to show furigana or hiragana over the kanjis, or even replace the kanjis by hiragana at all. All you have to do is selecting the beginning of the line you want to convert, open the right-click menu and click on the app option. The entire line will be changed the way you've chosen. Also, in this mode, when you hover over the word, a translation (English) of the word appears. The only bad side is that all the process may be a little tiresome, as it's a very manual process. Anyway, it's the best extension of the kind I've found so far.

ramu Yaku (ID: 000000a016beb4a6) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/21/2023 thats stale, some kanji cant convert to kana or has wrong separation then cause wrong kana showing
