Linguee it! by Renan de Lima

Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 14359419, 6 years agoTolles Add-on und das einzige verfügbare, dass die Übersetzung noch auf derselben Seite anbietet (!!!) und das funktioniert auch recht gut.
Manchmal läst das Linguee Fenster leider ewig, aber das ist erstmal halb so wild. Etwas schade (deshalb 4 und nicht 5 Sterne) ist, dass im Lesemodus und beim lesen einer PDF das Add-on ausnahmslos in einer endlosschleife lädt und nicht funktioniert (PC hängt deshalb aber nicht).
Hoffentlich kann das gefixt werden.
in english:
great extension and the only one which is available (or at least the only one I found) that translate the selected text straight on the website and not by opening a second tab or window (!!!) and this works pretty good.
But sometimes the linguee window takes a bit to long to load (and sometimes it's like an infinite loop and the extension doesn't show up with the linguee site), however thats not the point why I "only" gave 4 stars. The extension never show up with the linguee site in reading mode or while reading a pdf document, the extension is captured in a loop or something similar and just shows me a rotating circle (my machine doesn't hang up, it's really the extension).
I hope this could be fixed in the future.

- Rated 1 out of 5by TheConservativeCrocodile, 4 years agoDoesn't even load Linguee! No updates in 4+ years, completely broken.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Sir, 5 years agoOn clicking the button, the to-be-searched word shall be read from the clipboard, not least for I use the "copy on select" add-on. That would make for easy workflow. Auto-bookmark function (with bookmark management and/or integrating in Firefox bookmarks) is missing, for I tend to forget words I looked up (in other words, automated bookmarks would be best for studying). Neither "Pocket", that is now integrated in Firefox, nor the "traditional" bookmarks in Firefox are workarounds since Linguee opens in a little window that cannot be bookmarked :(
A Bookmarklet serves my purpose better, minus I've yet to figure out how to add bookmark functionality. Here it is:
javascript:term=window.getSelection();if (term=='') term=prompt('Look up on Linguee:'); if (term) void(open('https://www.linguee.de/deutsch-englisch/search?source=auto&query='+term,'',''))
If you want to use it, make a random Bookmark, click on its "preferences" and replace the URL with the above. To alter my version to your favorite lookup site, replace the URL in the line. Hugs - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14372912, 6 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Kleajmp, 6 years agothe extension is poorly made, the window where it appears is too small for the content and not resizeable and therefore not usable. also layers are overlapping each other.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12222814, 7 years agoLinguee is great service, but this Add-on is just very buggy:
The input fields is visible on top of the menu, which makes the menu nealry impossible to use.
Changing languages will not be persistet, I need to change them every time.
Everytime I open the Add-On it takes long to load.
The Menu shows EN-FR, but the title text shows "German – English", so which one is right?
Typing anywhere will type in the translation box, which means the language dropdowns can not be used properly by keyboard.
With a minimal font size set plenty of positions are off. - Rated 5 out of 5by gibus, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13226526, 7 years agoSafes much time when quickly search a word.
It would be great, if text-field has focus when no word is marked, to start typing immediately.
Staying open (link mentioned before) would be great to, when discovering a foreign text to mark different words from time to time without clicking Symbol each time.
Big thanks for developing - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13182077, 7 years agoFirst you select a word on any page, then you click on Linguee It, and the circles loads in about 0.2s.
Great plugin ! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13026087, 8 years agoThis module greatly simplify my readings.
Thanks to it I don't have to move to and fro from tab to tab.
However, it contains some graphical bugs. It would be really great if the module's window could stay open while browsing and automatically search new highlighted words.
Overall, it's a great little module wich jsut need to be improved a little.
Thanks Renan ! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12962634, 8 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Lucas Teixeira, 8 years agoOlá Renan!
Parabéns e obrigado pela ferramenta, tenho buscado uma solução alternativa ao google translate e acho que vou ficar por aqui.
Como sugestões gostaria de deixar a tradução à partir do clique com o botão direito na página (pelo menos do texto selecionado)
Outra questão que tem me preocupado e a lentidão, toda vez que clico no ícone na barra de status ele fica carregando alguns segundos até exibir as primeiras informações, para alterar o idioma (de/para) também há dificuldades.
Essa situação ocorre mesmo logado através da extensão.
Fico a disposição para maiores esclarecimentos e mais uma vez parabéns!
Um abraço! - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12646797, 8 years agoThat would be nice to have a shortcut; The pop up widow should directly fit the translated words. I have to scroll to go directly to the most important information
