en It isn't working at all for me. No pop ups or anything. It does have the "On" tag over the extension logo but it doesn't seem to do anything at all. Alero Inyang seems to have had a similar experience. Edit: ... I just had to refresh the browser after downloading the extension... バカみたいだ!(^_^;)

en I don't understand this... Rikaikun doesn't work at all! Nothing happens when I hover over Japanese text. No pop-up definition or reading, no text-to-speech, even though I enabled it in the Extension options. I thoroughly examined all the settings, and they remain default except for these: I've selected "On click" for site access, I've pinned the extension to my toolbar, I've enabled text-to-speech. It used to work well when I installed it the first time, but then it stopped abruptly. I removed it and tried reinstalling it to see if the same thing would happen again, but it didn't even work at first this time. I don't think the changes that I've made could interfere with the extension's functionality, and I've turned off my one other extension (I don't know what else could be interfering). I've tried using a shortcut to activate rikaikun; as I expected, it changes nothing. I'm really not sure what else the problem could be because I made sure that I didn't accidentally use a shortcut. I've looked at other similar extensions like yomichan, yomitan, and rikaitan, but I was hesitant to try them because my experience with rikaikan. I very breifly installed yomichan since I read only good reviews. I couldn't customize it before using though, like I can with rikaikun (which is much more straightforward), so I immediately removed it. Has anyone solved this problem or figured out the cause? Is there anyway I can fix this? I have even tried highlighting the text instead of just hovering over it. Could it be an update that I haven't installed yet for Chrome( There is that...)? :( (TLDR: Rikaikun is not working at all (legit) and i can't find a cause or solution. It is very frustrating because the extension is practically useless this way.)

en Hello Extension Creator, wouldn't it be possible to use an AI API to translate the text into other languages?
