I've been looking so long for a translation app that actually works. Thank you so much. It's been so long ;~;

Works, just a little bit inefficient. It could be better if it was a slightly bigger box, and the shortcuts don't seem to fully work. Is it bad? no. But is it great? no. Good, yet not bad nor great.

Finally I have found a good translator for Chrome with rich customization. This is the best translator and I have tested 20+ extensions. Amazing coding.
