Add-on summary

Important announcement With Firefox Version 57 (Nov. 2017) the classic add-on support will be dropped. Only Web-Extensions will be allowed. As a result, some features will be lost and some will be crippled. Version 5 has (again) been heavily rewritten to work as web-extension.

About the add-on The add-on uses dict.cc to translate words and phrases in any website, epub or pdf. No add-on is faster, easier or more precise!

  • Text selection is only required for phrases.
  • Use rocker gestures or modifiers (for example ctrl+alt) and mouseclick to quickly translate the word under your cursor.
  • Use the context menu to get more options.
  • Quick search via toolbar button or Alt+Q shortcut.
  • This is a word and phrase translation, it does not translate whole sentences.
  • I'm not the author or owner of dict.cc, I just wrote this Firefox add-on.

All languages from dict.cc are supported, and if new ones arrive, you can just update the list of languages from within the add-on.
