    Just select a word in the web page you're reading. Right-click on it and "Get the meaning for" it. Not_A_Translator will inject an inline tooltip with the meaning of the word in its native language. it also converts time and metrics.
    
    Why ? 
    Because it may be better to get a definition for a word in its own language than a translation to learn this language and because it doesn't break the process of reading an article, as getting on another page to translate a word would do. Anyway you can translate also.
    
    Known limitation : It is not always working because of the design of some websites (javascripts, iframes can alter the tooltip creation) but as a simple refresh reverts it back, it is worth a try ! and we have developed  a console mode now in latter version !
    
    Nota: We also have a safari version for iphones ready to upload but it needs funding (99$ for apple store publishing). if you're interested, feel free to use the' donate' button...
      
    supported dictionaries : 
    English, Spanish, French, Deutsch, Italian, Suomi (Latin+Greek for translation)
    timezone & units conversions
    
    supported locales : 
    english, french, spanish
    
    coming soon :
    Maybe a safari version ? already coded but freeware needs contribution to get published ! you already can find a Firefox add-on and an Firefox for Android add_on version.

    --> cascading fallback dictionaries.
    --> improved timezone and mesaure units detection.
    --> improved UI, improved console controls

    description
    Just select a word in the web page you're reading. Right-click on it and "Get the meaning for" it. Not_A_Translator will inject an inline tooltip with the meaning of the word in its native language. it also converts time and metrics.
    
    Why ? 
    Because it may be better to get a definition for a word in its own language than a translation to learn this language and because it doesn't break the process of reading an article, as getting on another page to translate a word would do. Anyway you can translate also.
    
    Known limitation : It is not always working because of the design of some websites (javascripts, iframes can alter the tooltip creation) but as a simple refresh reverts it back, it is worth a try ! and we have developed  a console mode now in latter version !
    
    Nota: We also have a safari version for iphones ready to upload but it needs funding (99$ for apple store publishing). if you're interested, feel free to use the' donate' button...

    --> Cambridge switched to Merriam-Webster due to locks. But this dictionnary has quotas due to free use limitations : when monthly quota is reached, definition is provided by a fallback free server.
    --> german dictionary changed to DWDS with improved composed words retrieval.
    --> cascading fallback dictionaries.
    --> improved timezone and mesaure units detection.
    --> improved UI, improved console controls

    Just select a word in the web page you're reading. Right-click on it and "Get the meaning for" it. Not_A_Translator will inject an inline tooltip with the meaning of the word in its native language. it also converts time and metrics.
    
    Why ? 
    Because it may be better to get a definition for a word in its own language than a translation to learn this language and because it doesn't break the process of reading an article, as getting on another page to translate a word would do. Anyway you can translate also.
    
    Known limitation : It is not always working because of the design of some websites (javascripts, iframes can alter the tooltip creation) but as a simple refresh reverts it back, it is worth a try ! and we have developed  a console mode now in latter version !

About

Just select a word in the web page you're reading. Right-click on it and "Get the meaning for" it. Not_A_Translator will inject an inline tooltip with the meaning of the word in its native language. it also converts time and metrics.

Why ? 
Because it may be better to get a definition for a word in its own language than a translation to learn this language and because it doesn't break the process of reading an article, as getting on another page to translate a word would do. Anyway you can translate also.

Known limitation : It is not always working because of the design of some websites (javascripts, iframes can alter the tooltip creation) but as a simple refresh reverts it back, it is worth a try ! and we have developed  a console mode now in latter version !

Nota: We also have a safari version for iphones ready to upload but it needs funding (99$ for apple store publishing). if you're interested, feel free to use the' donate' button...
  
supported dictionaries : 
English, Spanish, French, Deutsch, Italian, Suomi (Latin+Greek for translation)
timezone & units conversions

supported locales : 
english, french, spanish

coming soon :
italian dictionary word parsing improvement
Maybe a safari version ? already coded but freeware needs contribution to get published ! you already can find a Firefox add-on and an Firefox for Android add_on version.

NOW :  
-->VERSION 7.1.3 : enhancement for french dictionnary


Old :
-->VERSION 7.1.0 : minor enhancement of definition lookup in English dictionary
-->VERSION 7.0.7 : rendering enhancement (menu scrolling)
-->VERSION 7.0.3 : "buy me a coffee", minor rendering fixes  
-->VERSION 7.0.2 : temperature conversion button added to console mode (when selecting '15°' without specfying if it's Farenheit or Celsisus). Imperator button removed.
--> VERSION 7.0.0 : more measurment units : biblical and archaïc ones in all locales (es en fr fi de ) + several imperials . minor bug fixes (rendering of SVGs buttons in toolbar inside tooltips)
--> VERSION 6.8.4 : some fixes on rendering and infamous tooltip imperator introduction
--> VERSION 6.7.1 : finnish dictionary and local... full tokenization & lemmatization.
--> VERSION 6.0 will provide a Greek/Latin translation in detected local language (Logeion).
--> active translation for new dictionaries (limited feature). with load balancing amid several translation servers.

--> cascading fallback dictionaries.
--> improved timezone and mesaure units detection.
--> improved UI, improved console controls
--> audio rendering
--> fixes & better tooltip rendering on certain sites 

--> VERSION 5.0 provides a failsafe console storing tips for most exotic/javascript hostile sites.
