    Context Dictionary v7.1.0 – Your Intelligent Reading Companion
    Go beyond simple translation. Context Dictionary helps you learn vocabulary naturally by saving words with their original context paragraphs.
    ---
    Two Translation Modes:
    🔹 Long Press & Save (For space-delimited languages: English, French, German, etc.)
    - Press and hold any word for 1 second
    - Instant popup translation
    - Automatically saves the word + surrounding context
    - Build your personal vocabulary list effortlessly
    🔹 Quick Select (For all languages including CJK)
    - Highlight any text while holding Ctrl/Alt/Shift (or no key if configured)
    - Works seamlessly with Chinese, Japanese, Korean
    - Instant popup translation without auto-saving
    ---
    What's New in v7.1.0:
    ✨ Cleaner Vocabulary List – Removed cluttered translations from the word list. Definitions appear only in the popup when you first look them up, keeping your vocabulary list clean and focused on context.
    🛠️ Rock-Solid Stability – Fixed multiple crashes: word deletion errors, extension reload issues, DOM parsing in background scripts, and message channel failures. The extension now handles edge cases gracefully.
    🎯 Smarter Saving – Words are only saved when a valid translation is found. No more empty entries or "word-as-meaning" pollution in your vocabulary list.
    🌍 Better Language Detection – Automatically skips same-language lookups (e.g., English page → English target) to avoid useless saves. Added language configuration reminders for double-click mode.
    📚 Study Mode – Built-in SM-2 spaced repetition flashcards (Again/Hard/Good/Easy) with review scheduling, streak tracking, and keyboard shortcuts.
    ---
    Key Features:
    - Context-Aware Learning – Every saved word includes the original sentence for natural learning
    - AI Memory Helper – Generate creative stories from your vocabulary to boost retention
    - Privacy First – All data stored locally. No external servers, no tracking, no account needed
    - Rich Definitions – "More" button links to Google Search for detailed explanations
    - Audio Pronunciation – Built-in text-to-speech and audio playback
    - Progress Tracking – Review dashboard with statistics, streaks, and due words
    Perfect For:
    - Language learners building contextual vocabulary
    - Researchers reading academic papers in foreign languages
    - Anyone who wants to understand words in their natural habitat
    Note: CJK auto-save requires word segmentation which is actively being researched for future implementation. Currently works perfectly with Quick Select mode.
