Cantonese Popup Dictionary Extension

Cantonese-English pop-up dictionary for Chrome. Simply hover the mouse pointer over Chinese words to have both the definition and pronunciation displayed via a pop-up window in real-time. Pronunciation is displayed as Yale romanisation with tone numbers (other configurations are not supported at this time).

This plugin is based on the \"Perapera Chinese Popup Dictionary\" plugin for Chrome (which is in turn based on several other projects including Rikaikun, Rikaichan and RikaiXUL), with the dictionary replaced with data from Cantonese CEDICT project. The original copyright notices remain intact within the package source files. I take no credit for this; it was a quick and easy hack using existing resources.

Ben MacLeod (ID: 000000f478f622e2) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/05/2023 I wish it used an established romanisation system (Jyutping) rather than a completely made-up one.

Agnes Waye (ID: 000000815158b76c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/08/2021 I love it so much, wish I discovered it earlier!!

Sandra Whare (ID: 00000055777605b6) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/05/2021 Four stars for usefulness. The only reason it's not 5* is that it uses some weird romanization system that isn't jyutping and isn't Yale. I don' know what it is. Once you get used to it it's fine, but I don't see any reason not to use the most common system.
