Review summary

Users broadly praise WordReference for fast, direct translations and a simple, usable interface. The addon is useful and complete, with options to set a default language and to select a preferred translation on the setup page. However, several reviewers report that changing the translation language is difficult or unavailable, with Spanish defaulting in some cases and UI options hard to locate. They also request enhancements such as a keyboard shortcut and a double-click-to-translate/open WordReference feature, and some desire access to the source code for customization. Overall, solid translation utility with UX-oriented improvement needs.

Pros

Fast, direct translations for quick lookups.
Simple, straightforward interface that works as intended.
Configurable language direction; you can set a default source/target language.
Setup page lets you pick a preferred translation, improving usability.
Desire for open-source code and customization from users.

Cons

Language direction is hard to change or locked, with Spanish default in some cases.
UI options for changing language are not easily accessible.
Lack of keyboard shortcut; requests for a shortcut.
Double-click-to-translate/open WordReference feature is not implemented and requested.
Unclear how to pin or keep the extension icon visible.
