Leo Dictionary Widget: Instant Translation

The 'Leo Dictionary Widget' is a Chrome extension that allows users to easily look up translations for words and phrases seen on websites. By simply selecting a word/phrase and pressing a keyboard shortcut (defaulting to Alt+W), the translation appears conveniently in the upper right corner within the browser window, hence no need for opening a new tab or window. The extension can be personalized, allowing users to set their preferred shortcut and language pair, and supports up to eight languages in combination with German. The Leo Dictionary Widget is your ultimate tool for seamless website translation.

So frustrating! The dictionary opens in a pop up window that is too small to read the definitions, the window is not resizable, and it constantly asks to accept cookies. This makes it unusable. It's a pity...this would be so useful!

I really liked the extension, but recently the cookies acceptance dialog box is covering the dictionary windows that open up, and I have to manually close the cookies information window first before I can look up the meaning. It is really irritating doing it over and over again. Earlier I just had to press the shortcut key and get the meaning of the highlighted word on the side window that would pop out.
