Buggy. Crashes with (Cannot read properties of null (reading 'id') at child.fetchTrainingCards (training.js:55:49)). Double click is pretty annoing and is not configurable. Pretty "low-level" extension. Best dict with such a bad community.

Чтобы что-то перевести, нужно: 1. выделить слово, 2. скопировать, 3. нажать на иконку приложения, 4. вставить 5. и нажать Enter. Перевод по двойному клику НЕ РАБОТАЕТ. А чтобы перевести с помощью другого приложения — Google Translate, нужно только выделить слово и нажать на иконку приложения. Догадайтесь, что я выбрал.
