Wordology

Adds a calque to foreign-language web-pages to aid language learning.

Wordology - Language Learning Chrome Extension

Wordology is a browser add-on that turns foreign-language reading into an effortless part of your routine. It colour-codes translations for individual words on web-pages: green for known words, and red for unknown, to visualise progress. Wordology also features Smart Matching to detect variant forms of words automatically.

User reviews

I tried a lot of similar extensions and this one is the best. It combines functionality and simplicity well. Also, if you are bothered with all words being red, you can make the red highlighting invisible in the options. Edit: The only downside of it is that it only accepts single words and not phrases.

I use this extension with IM Translator and Dict.cc for definitions. Then I can reread foreign-language articles and have an instantaneous translation of words I've forgotten.
