hgitz Guj (ID: 0000006364511d52) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/16/2022 does not work anymore

Zack Dubnoff (ID: 000000d7a7dfffd7) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/15/2021 So frustrating! The dictionary opens in a pop up window that is too small to read the definitions, the window is not resizable, and it constantly asks to accept cookies. This makes it unusable. It's a pity...this would be so useful!

Raza (ID: 0000003c36601b1e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/09/2020 I really liked the extension, but recently the cookies acceptance dialog box is covering the dictionary windows that open up, and I have to manually close the cookies information window first before I can look up the meaning. It is really irritating doing it over and over again. Earlier I just had to press the shortcut key and get the meaning of the highlighted word on the side window that would pop out.

Juan Camilo Nieto (ID: 000000903614c95c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/23/2020 Ecerytime i open the translator a cookie message appears. Every sigle time. Also the display is not really as shown in the pictures. It opens the whole page and is very troublesome to get into the part of the page that contains the traslation. I don't recommend it and will remove right away.

Lucas Rotava (ID: 00000015f558f1cc) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/12/2019 It is a great idea, but needs improvement in the implementation. A resizable window would be an awesome start, so that we don't need to scroll to find the results.
