Only for English. I wasted a full hour Adding the extensions, reading through GitHub, Downloading the Demo File to build the Anki Card Template, and implementing the whole thing.. Just to realize, it only supports English. Useless for my Dutch study! It is a good extension for the English purpose though. Just has to MENTIONED clearly in the description.

Please add these features, I beg you: 1. Choose the anki deck and note type in the configuration. 2. Import directly to anki from the translation popup (using AnkiConnect)

It's a very cool extension; thanks for the work! However, I really miss the context on the front of the card for the word. Is it possible to add a feature to capture the sentence in which the selected word is located? For example, if I add the word "confident," which is in the sentence "She was in a relaxed, confident mood," then I want to see on the front of my Anki card not just the word "confident," but the word itself and the sentence "She was in a relaxed, *confident* mood" below the word.
