Meet DictHub..

DictHub is designed for..

  • Save time for translation during web reading, without transiting to another page;
  • Understand the word better than just simple translation
  • See translation in multiple languages (e.g. native language + english)

DictHub is not great for..

  • Long text translation
  • Whole webpage/file translation

How does it work?

DictHub extension is built with to components:

  • DictHub extension framework which listens user query event and passes to plugins
  • DictHub plugins fetch web result of sources, convert result to html content and pass to extension to render.

Long story short, DictHub does nothing more than fetching the translation webpage (e.g. GoogleTranslation) and render on same webpage.

The way DictHub shows translation is inspired by a great extension Greasemonkey
