description

Target Users:
Programming learners, particularly those who need to read programming documentation in English but are not as proficient in English as their native language.

Features:
When learning programming, automatic translation of documents often encounters difficulties. This extension, by replacing code tags with span tags, corrects layout distortions and translation inaccuracies caused by web pages' code tags.

Therefore, when used in conjunction with general web page translation services, it simplifies the understanding of programming documentation pages.

Usage:
When enabled, this extension automatically replaces code tags with span tags upon page load or changes, enhancing the quality of translation. (Note 1)

From the extension's popup, you can toggle the execution/stop of this feature. (Note 2)

Options Page:
In web pages with special notations, this extension might occasionally cause layout disruptions. Adjusting settings in the options page may help mitigate these issues.

Exceptionally, when using natural language AI for code generation, it is recommended to register exclusion domains. (Note 3)

This extension may potentially cause errors in the hydration process, as the rewriting of HTML leads to inconsistencies between the server-side and client-side HTML structures.

If you experience unresponsiveness in button clicks or links, disable the extension and reload the page.

Additional Notes:

1. After installing the extension or changing option settings, reloading the tab is required.
2. Toggling the Run/Stop will automatically reload the page.
3. Web pages that automatically add code tags (such as those using natural language generation AI) may experience reduced performance or instability.

CodeToSpan for Translation helps programming learners read translated documentation more comfortably.

Programming documentation often contains inline code, keywords, and short code fragments. Browser translation can sometimes distort those parts or break the layout. CodeToSpan reduces these issues by replacing eligible code tags with span tags before translation.

Main features:
- Converts eligible code tags to span tags.
- Turns processing ON or OFF from the popup.
- Lets you configure which code elements are processed from the Options page.
- Skips pages whose language appears to match the browser language.
- Excludes specific hostnames from processing.
- Shows the current tab hostname from the popup with Check Domain.
- Adds the current hostname to Exclude Domains from the popup.
- Shows an R badge when an already open tab needs reload after settings change.
- Shows "Outdated Settings Detected." in the popup when the current tab is using old settings.

Important notes:
- Already open target tabs need to be reloaded after settings changes.
- When RUN / STOP is changed, CodeToSpan asks whether to reload the current tab. Automatic reload can be enabled in Options.
- Exclude Domains uses exact hostname matching. example.com does not match sub.example.com.
- Some dynamic web apps may behave unexpectedly if code elements are rewritten. If buttons or links become unresponsive, stop the extension for that page or add the hostname to Exclude Domains, then reload the page.
