Hi River,

Firstly, just want to say this is by far the best extension I've seen when it comes to finding definitions and enabling easy translations, so thank you for all that you do!

If I could provide a couple recs (and keep in mind I'm a neophyte when it comes to this stuff), it would be great if users were able to:

Select a default dictionary that is utilized when defining words outside of the double-click functionality, and Improving recognition of loanwords, especially within English dictionaries and for words that have accents present. Paradigmatic example is détente.

Again, want to reiterate that this is by far the best Language/Dictionary extension I've ever used, so thank you for your enterprise in creating something so beneficial for us.

Hello,

I just downloaded this extension and was curious on how to change the default language for definitions. I'm hoping to use this tool to help look up definitions for German words, but when I double click them the definitions are in German which doesn't really help me much since I am pretty new to learning German. Was hoping there was a way to specify a default language but there doesn't seem to be an option in the settings (or I'm overlooking it).

Any help would be appreciated. Regards!

Hello,

I'm trying to learn Swedish from German primarily, so I'd like my lookup language (double-clicking a word) to also be in German, but it's in English.

Where does the lookup dictionary call its dictionary from? Even when "deleting" all other dictionaries but DE-SV, I'm getting the same Swedish-English translations.

Vielen Dank / Tack så mycket..

After years of relying on word-of-mouth and scattered links, I finally decided to create a proper landing page for Dictionariez, my all-in-one browser extension for instant word lookup, sentence translation, text-to-speech, and vocabulary building.

Why now? Well, it’s getting harder and harder to market the project without a proper address to share with users. I realized that having a centralized hub for the extension is essential, not just for showcasing its features, but also for building trust and making it easier for users to find and download the product.

The design of the landing page is heavily inspired by the Chrome Web Store extension pages. I wanted to keep things clean, functional, and focused on the product. The layout highlights the key features, user reviews, and FAQs, while keeping the overall experience simple and intuitive.

But I know there’s always room for improvement, especially when it comes to design.

So, here’s my invitation: roast my design! Whether it’s the layout, the color scheme, or the way I’ve presented the content, I’m open to all feedback. Let me know what works, what doesn’t, and how I can make it better.

Check it out here: https://dictionariez.pnl.dev

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Hi everyone 👋

PNL Pro has been available for a while now, and I’ve done a few launch promos when releasing major features like cloud sync, text-to-speech, and the translator. During those launches, the discounts were 90%, 80%, and 70% off. Right now, PNL Pro is at the Christmas and New Year Deal: 65% off.

The full price is 42 SEK/month (~$4.50 USD), it's roughly the cost of a cup of coffee. I’ve also included 100 free trials for the TTS and translation features.

I’d really appreciate your feedback:

How do you feel about the current Pro features?
Are they useful? Are the trial limits reasonable?

What Pro feature would you most like to see added next?
More AI definitions? Better Anki integration? Or a mobile app...

What do you think about the pricing model?
Is it fair? Too expensive? Would you prefer an annual plan?

Thanks a lot for helping shape the future of PNL Pro 🙏

Hi everyone! I almost forgot to announce one of the biggest features of Dictionariez... 😅

Translation Pro has actually been live since v6.4.0, and we're already at v6.4.2! I've been working like a machine recently, pushing updates so fast that I forgot to properly introduce this milestone feature. Better late than never, right?

So let me officially introduce Translation Pro - the powerful text translation feature that's been quietly revolutionizing language learning for our users.

What's New with Translation Pro?

Building on the success of our TTS Pro feature, Translation Pro uses the same intuitive interface but for instant translation:

Select any text on any webpage and get instant translations Support for 20+ major languages with accurate AI-powered translations Premium Google translation service - superior quality to most providers Same convenient bubble interface - just look for the 🌐 icon Works everywhere - from news articles to social media posts

Whether you're learning a new language, reading foreign content, or just curious about what something means, Translation Pro makes it effortless.

Superior Translation Quality

Translation Pro uses Google's professional translation service - the same technology powering Google Translate Pro. This means you get:

Higher accuracy than most translation providers Better context understanding for natural translations Professional-grade quality suitable for serious language learning Consistent results across all supported languages

The difference in quality is immediately noticeable, especially for complex sentences and technical content.

How It Works

The user experience is beautifully simple:

Select text on any webpage (single words, sentences, or paragraphs) [optional] Press Ctrl (or your configured key) to show the action bubble (you can configure the modifier key in settings) Click the translation icon 🌐 to get instant translation View results in a clean, non-intrusive popup Click the speaker icon in the translation popup to hear it read aloud!

Just like TTS Pro, Translation Pro uses the same isolated web component architecture that ensures zero interference with the original website.

Perfect for Language Learners

Translation Pro is designed with language learners in mind:

Learn vocabulary in context - see how words are used in real sentences Understand complex texts - translate difficult passages instantly Compare languages - great for Swedish learners reading 8sidor or other native content Pronunciation practice - translate text, then have the translation read aloud with one click High-quality learning - professional-grade translations ensure you're learning correctly Technical Excellence & Design

Like all Dictionariez features, Translation Pro is built with quality in mind:

Open source - you can explore the implementation Web Components & Shadow DOM - completely isolated from website scripts and styles Auto theme adaptation - automatically adapts to your OS light/dark theme Universal compatibility - works on all websites without interference Premium Google translation API - professional-grade translation quality

Note: While I've tested extensively, if you encounter any website compatibility issues, please let me know so we can improve the experience.

Language Support

Currently supporting 20+ major languages including:

English ↔ Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese English ↔ Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Japanese, Korean English ↔ Russian, Arabic, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian And many more!

Want a language we don't support yet? Please leave a comment or open an issue - I've been actively expanding language support based on user feedback!

Hi everyone! I'm thrilled to announce that the powerful text-to-speech player from PNL Reader has now been integrated into Dictionariez. This exciting new feature makes language learning more accessible and convenient than ever before.

What's New?

With TTS Pro, you can now:

Select any text on any webpage and have it read aloud instantly Support for multiple languages with realistic AI voices High-quality pronunciation that surpasses many existing solutions Seamless integration that works across all websites

For Swedish learners specifically, I'm confident you'll find our AI voices significantly better than what's available on 8sidor and other platforms. The natural intonation and pronunciation make it perfect for improving your listening comprehension and pronunciation skills.

The Technology Behind It

As always, Dictionariez remains open-source, so you can explore the implementation yourself on our GitHub repository. Here's what makes this feature special:

Web Components Architecture: I've wrapped the entire TTS player using web components with shadow DOM Complete Isolation: The player operates independently from the host website's context No Interference: Scripts and styles from the original website won't affect Dictionariez, and vice versa Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly across all websites, including complex applications like Epic Games login pages

This technical approach ensures reliability and compatibility while maintaining the integrity of both the original website and our extension.

Pricing and Availability

Since TTS Pro utilizes premium AI services that incur costs per request, this feature is included in our PNL Pro plan. However, I believe in letting you experience the quality first-hand, so I've included a generous free trial for everyone.

⚡ Last Hours of 11.11 Offer!

Hurry! The 11.11 special offer with 80% off is ending in just a few hours! Don't miss out on this amazing deal.

Happy learning! 🌍📚

Hi, language learners and fellow ebookworms! Hope you’re all having a good weekend, or at least finding a little time to read between everything else. I’m excited to announce that PNL Reader 2.0 is here! This release brings the first Pro feature—voice mode—and a host of enhancements to the reading experience.

Listen Up! (Or Don’t—It’s Your Choice) 🔊

3.png

Ever find yourself reading a long article or web novel on RoyalRoad or ScribbleHub and wishing someone would just read it to you while you sip your coffee and look thoughtful? Wish granted! With the new audio player, you can now select any text and have PNL Reader read it aloud.
This read aloud feature is part of the Pro plan, but everyone gets a free trial quota of 100 uses—so you can try it out and see if it fits your reading style.
Even better, the audio mode automatically detects the language of the text and supports as many languages as you can think of. Learning Swedish? Give it a try and see if it’s better than 8sidor.se! Whether you want to practice your listening skills, rest your eyes, or just hear what your favorite web novel sounds like in a near-human-yet-still-robotic voice, the choice is yours. And if you prefer the sound of silence, you can still read quietly with a paper-feel background like it’s 2008.

Themes for Every Mood 🎨

We’ve also given the theme selector a glow-up. Not only can you switch between dark mode, light mode, and a whole palette of other themes, but you’ll also see a handy color preview icon for each one. No more guessing what “Solarized Light” actually looks like—just click and see. Now you can match your reading mood, your wallpaper, or even your cat’s fur color (no judgment).

A Reading Page That Looks Like Paper (But Won’t Give You Papercuts) 📄

The reading page has been prettified with a sharper background, border, and shadow that make it look like a real sheet of paper—minus the risk of paper cuts or coffee stains. It’s easier on the eyes and just feels right, whether you’re reading late at night or pretending to work during a Zoom call.

PDF Support: Now Featuring arXiv and more 📑

For the academics and research enthusiasts among you, PNL Reader now supports loading PDFs from arXiv and a bunch of other sites. For example, you can open a research paper like https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.10028v4 or https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00134-020-06294-x.pdf in your browser. Then, just click the PNL Reader icon—PNL Reader will automatically open the PDF in its distraction-free reader mode. Even better, it’s fully integrated with Dictionariez, so you can look up any word in the PDF instantly with a click. Reading academic papers (and actually understanding them) could be much easier!

Still the Same Great Dictionary Integration 📚

And don’t forget, PNL Reader still plays nicely with Dictionariez, so you can click any word and instantly see what it means. Because who has time to open a new tab just to look up “defenestration”?

Open-source and download links 👩‍💻

Full transparency is still the key. PNL Reader is open source, so it’s available for anyone to review and contribute to.
Chrome: PNL Reader on Chrome Web Store
Firefox: PNL Reader on Mozilla Add-ons
Edge: PNL Reader on Edge Web Store

Thanks for reading, and for being part of the PNL Reader community! If you have feedback, suggestions, or just want to share your favorite new theme, drop by Programming N' Language Community. Now go forth and read (or listen) to your heart’s content. And remember, the only thing better than a good ebook is one that reads itself to you.

YouTube Keyboard Shortcuts That’ll Change Your Life

You’re watching a two-hour coding tutorial and keep pausing to take notes.
Click pause, jot something down, click play, miss the next part, rewind... your mouse is exhausted and your focus is gone.

Then you discover YouTube’s keyboard shortcuts.

The essential shortcuts Playback Space or K — Play / Pause J — Rewind 10 seconds L — Fast-forward 10 seconds ← / → — Rewind / Fast-forward 5 seconds Audio M — Mute / Unmute ↑ / ↓ — Volume up / down Quick navigation 0–9 — Jump to 0%–90% of the video Fullscreen F — Fullscreen with captionz on the right side, but if you focus on the youtube embeded player, then only the YouTube player in fullscreen. Why it matters

These shortcuts keep you in the zone — whether you’re studying, binge-watching, or skipping sponsor segments. Your hands stay on the keyboard, and your focus stays on the content.

Once you start using J and L for 10-second jumps, there’s no going back — simple, obvious, essential.

Give them a try. Your mouse hand will thank you.

Hello, Dictionariez is exactly the dictionary extension I was looking for, the one I love using, and benefit from greatly. Thank you very much. I have a request for you: Dictionariez offers support for a wide variety of languages, but Turkish language support is missing. We urgently need it. Could you please add Turkish ("Look up Turkish words") to Dictionariez? Thank you.

In this video, I report a recurring bug where the top input panel disappears, particularly when using the Cambridge Dictionary website. It flickers in and out, and while closing and reopening the panel temporarily resolves the issue, it often disappears again. This seems to indicate a compatibility problem between the plugin and the website, which is quite frustrating. I would appreciate any insights or solutions from the team regarding this issue.

Thank you!
