Popup dictionary for language learning by AJATT

Rikaitan Popup Dictionary - Language Learning Tool

"Rikaitan Popup Dictionary" is a community-driven browser extension designed for language learners, transforming your web browser into a powerful tool for building Japanese literacy. A fork of the now-unmaintained Yomichan, it helps users understand challenging texts by providing easy access to dictionary definitions. Unlike similar tools, Rikaitan aims to be a comprehensive learning resource rather than just a simple dictionary. For optimal use, users need to download dictionary files from third-party sources.

Extension summary

This project is a community-driven fork of Yomichan, which is no longer maintained. Our primary objective is to maintain the project, ensuring it remains functional on the most recent browser versions and that any bugs are fixed.

Rikaitan turns your web browser into a tool for building Japanese language literacy by helping you to decipher texts which would be otherwise too difficult tackle. This extension is similar to 10ten Japanese Reader for Firefox and Rikaikun for Chrome, but it stands apart in its goal of being an all-encompassing learning tool as opposed to a mere browser-based dictionary. For the addon to work users need to download dictionary files from third party websites.
