Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Activate by clicking the 이해 icon and then mouse over the word to translate. Two freely available dictionaries are searched for a match. You can toggle which one is searched first with Shift/Enter.

For better accuracy, words are stemmed by removal of postposition particles and attempted reverse conjugation.

Still, there's a lot of work to be done on word recognition, and if anyone knows of any better dictionaries, I'm happy to hear your feedback.

FAQ Q: Hovering over a word and nothing happens? A: Usually this means the word is not in the dictionary.

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.
