Лучшее приложение для быстрого перевода небольших текстов/предожений/слов. Абсолютно не перегружает интерфейс, никаких доп.менюшек, тыщи пунктов, какой-то нелепой сотни настроек. Просто выделил, нажал на значек, получил перевод.

Shows the translation for japanese but not what the pronunciation of the word. Useless.

This is what I need in a Translating extension. Simple, easy to use and not another pop up site.
