  description

  WorDic is a privacy-first vocabulary builder for the web. Save words and short phrases in one click, see compact translations right on the page, and review everything from a clean popup. Learn faster without switching tabs, and keep control of your data.
  
  Why you’ll love it:
  Stay in flow with on-page translations and saving.
  Learn in context as saved words reappear highlighted across sites.
  Privacy by default: everything is stored locally in your browser.
  Sync when you want: optional sign-in lets you sync your dictionary, settings, and per-site disables.
  Fast review: search, sort, edit translations, export, and import.
  
  How it works:
  
  Select any word or short phrase.
  
  Press Alt+Shift+W or use the context menu “Save to WorDic”.
  
  WorDic highlights the term and shows a small on-page translation.
  
  Open the popup to browse, edit, or export your list.
  
  Key features:
  One-click save via context menu and Alt+Shift+W (configurable at chrome://extensions/shortcuts).
  On-page highlights with compact, always-visible translations.
  Quick on-page panel with Speak, Edit, Delete; double-click to open a compact Add panel.
  Popup list with search, sorting, inline translation edit, and delete with confirmation.
  Global Highlight toggle and “Disable on this site” for fine control.
  Export to TXT/CSV and import CSV (handles duplicates and common encodings).
  Configurable phrase length (for example, 1–5 words).
  Translations via a configured LibreTranslate endpoint.
  Optional sign-in (email or Google) using Firebase to sync dictionary, settings, and disabled sites.
  
  Built for:
  Language learners, ESL students, avid readers, researchers, journalists, product managers—anyone who wants to build vocabulary without breaking reading flow.
  
  Permissions and privacy:
  storage — save your dictionary and settings locally.
  contextMenus, tabs, scripting — add menu items and retrieve selections for saving and highlighting.
  identity — optional authentication for syncing (off by default).
  WorDic does not sell personal data. By default, your words stay on your device. If you turn on sync, your data is stored securely to enable cross-device access.
  
  Tips:
  Some special pages (for example, the Chrome Web Store) block content scripts; test on another site.
  Change the keyboard shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
  Use Settings in the popup to adjust highlight colors, phrase length, and more.
  
  What’s new:
  Faster popup search and better performance with large word lists.
  Optional cloud sync for dictionary, settings, and per-site disables.
  Smoother translations and highlight refresh, plus polish for dark mode.
