- Netflix and Youtube subtitles become hoverable and accessible to pop-up dictionaries
- Show your target language, transliteration, and native language subtitles all at the same time
- For native language subtitles, we are limited by what Netflix provides based on your choice of language and region. If you don't see the second language you want, try changing your language settings on Netflix or set your preferred languages under your account

This extension is the best! As a person who is learning Chinese, this dictionary made learning much, much easier Pros: -hover over any Chinese character (1-3 characters if it is one word), and it will give you the meaning and pinyin. -On youtube, it can give you subtitles to Chinese shows within Youtube -Super clean and modern looking. Soft on the eyes -You use specific dictionaries like pleco or MDBG Common complaints with solutions: -doesn't work? Maybe the website is weird. Like it doesn't work on google translate for some reason -keeps on popping up? disable it -words too big or too small? Go to settings and lower the size -Meaning seems wrong? Switch to a different dictionary Cons: NOTHING! If you are looking for a Chinese to English on hand dictionary, you have arrived.
