Extension summary

The Flewent language learning plugin takes a webpage in english and translates some of the words into a language of your choice.

This should help you build your vocabulary for a foreign language you want to learn while reading news, checking wikipedia, and doing daily web browsing. It also provides a pop-up to view the word on Google Translate (for better / more results), Wikipedia, or Dictionary.com

Recent versions made substantial changes to the way the plugin works. It now includes your own dictionary that fills up automatically and lets you translate some words without using the translation service. Your dictionary will fill up from the translation service, but you can edit the dictionary to suit your needs. Full release details here:

Can't switch in which language to translate.
by igor Smirnov, 2021-10-27

I really wanted this to work but the translations were mostly terrible. I checked if it was the database but that website translates without issue. An example was the word "just" being translated to "纯文本的logo" or the word "your" being translated to "[城市将从您的列表中获得]". Clearly there's a bug. I'll keep it installed in the hopes that this issue is resolved at some point.

This is very beneficial for me. Is there a way via which I can extend the dictionary size beyond 16000? I don't mind performance issues. I need to learn more words than that in the language.
