## Description

Word Reference Translator is a convenient Chrome extension designed to provide instant access to www.wordreference.com for word translations. Easily translate words by double-clicking and clicking the floating link, using the context menu on selected text, or pressing the configurable "T" key after selecting text. The extension supports translations among six major languages: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, and German.

Users can customize settings via an accessible page from the context menu or the add-ons list. Note that the extension follows WordReference.com's inherent translation behavior, which may show inverse translations when translating words already belonging to the target language. This lightweight tool is perfect for language learners and multilingual users seeking quick word translations directly from their browser.
