## Description

Wordreference Shortcut is a handy Chrome extension that lets you translate words instantly from your browser's address bar. Simply type "wr" followed by the word you want to translate, and press ENTER. You can easily customize the source and target languages in the extension's settings to suit your needs.

This extension also offers flexibility by allowing you to invert the translation direction using a minus sign or override language parameters directly in the address bar. For example, typing "wr - shoes" switches the translation direction, and you can specify language codes like "wr -de gemuse" to translate words from German to your default language. Perfect for language learners, travelers, or anyone needing quick, context-based translations.
