ihaessi

Port of rikaikun to provide hover translation of Korean text.

ihaessi is a Chrome extension designed to provide quick and accurate hover translations for Korean text. Inspired by rikaikun, it activates when you click on the 이해 icon, and then simply hovering over Korean words fetches translations from two freely available dictionaries. Users can toggle dictionary priority using Shift/Enter, allowing choice in search preference.

The extension enhances translation accuracy by stemming words through the removal of postposition particles and attempts reverse conjugation. While still evolving in word recognition capabilities, ihaessi welcomes feedback for better dictionaries to improve performance. Its quick setup and intuitive interface make it a helpful tool for learners and readers of Korean text online.

The hovering is very buggy

It's nice that someone created this, but the dictionaries still seem severely lacking at this point. Either that or it's a bug which prevent some of the word from being displayed ? Thanks for the good work so far.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

ihaessi requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
