Recent reviews
I want to give this a better rating, but this extension is pretty much useless. No clear instructions by the Dev on how to use it, any that are provided are in jargon, ie "If there are no translators in chat", what the heck does that mean? What do you mean translator? The extension is supposed to be the translator! I read something that messages have to be prefixed with the country code, which is pointless because no messages have such a prefix. On top of that, the only message that even appear, though untranslated, are those made by the streamer/mod/another streamer. No messages from regular chat show at all. So again, what is the point? How is this useful for anyone trying to read the chat?

really good extension
