Da el significado de las palabras y traduce unicamente con seleccionar el texto (o palabra). No funciona en PDF.

Muhteşem işimi görüyor. Fascinating.

It can't store words by directly defining one by "clicking the extension icon, typing in a word, defining", meaning I cannot download and learn these new words. This is a little pity, despite the fact that it has been a great tool in many aspects.
