- Rated 4 out of 5by NVDK, 5 years agoTốt nhưng cần cải thiện thêm.
Ví dụ khi double click chọn từ boats - bên nghĩa tiếng Việt -VI là "thuyền" rất ngắn gọn, nhưng bên nghĩa tiếng Anh -EN rất chi tiết phát âm, loại từ là danh từ và động từ ( cài đặt ngôn ngữ chính là VI, sau đó là EN ).
Cảm ơn rất nhiều. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15199237, 6 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Ret, 6 years agoOnly 4 Stars because there's no possibility to change size and color of this small bottom for translating. . i use a black Background in Firefox and this tiny small blue Bottom is really hard to find.

posted 6 years agoI'm really sorry for this inconvenient. I'm too using this extension everyday so I know there're many issues like this one.
I haven't abandoned the extension yet, but just have little time. But I'll do my best to continue developing Quick Dictionary very soon. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14482917, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Xavier Novella Sinde, 6 years agoWas able to install and create 2 languages (english, german).
Issues: Popup text does not seem to work. Is there a setting to activate it? I would prefer the hover search rather than side panel.
Is there any option to add another language? or a relationship like "German - Spanish", so that the translation appears first? - Rated 4 out of 5by PERCE-NEIGE, 6 years agoSo useful to translate! I love the IPA. But there's always the side panel, I'd like to use the popup window, but I don't know how. And I would like to add more language, than the 2 preconfigured language you can add to switch from one to the other one.
The only missing feature is to save words or expressions. - Rated 4 out of 5by Quang Trinh, 7 years agoNice add-on, but I want to have an option to turn off the context menu for it. My browser toolbox is buggy and I couldn't seem to get the CSS ID for it. What is the CSS ID for the context menu of this add-on? So that I can turn it of myself, thank you!

posted 7 years agoGlad you found it yourself. I don't exactly know what the CSS ID is and how to find it tbh :P - Rated 4 out of 5by Erlend, 7 years agoThis is good! I started using this after an older Wiktionary plugin whose name I forgot stopped working when Firefox stopped supporting XUL. With that older extension, you could right-click a highlighted word and click a menu option that gave you an on-page window showing the full Wiktionary page for that word. This plugin has a few other ways to trigger looking up words - a neat optional button that appears over highlighted words, a toolbar button you can click to look up the highlighted word, or a hotkey (CTRL-Q). The page that pops up is a modified and shortened Wiktionary page. If the highlighted word is not on Wiktionary, the add-on can still often find the correct translation by looking it up in some other source.
For me, there are only two things that make this a 4/5 instead of a 5/5. First, the modified Wiktionary page that this plugin displays is missing a few things, such as translations. Second, and most importantly, the hotkey is not editable in any obvious way, and in Firefox on macOS it is set to CMD-Q, which is also the system hotkey to close programs on macOS. The extension overrides the system hotkey, which means that you can no longer quit Firefox in the most convenient way with the extension enabled. (Oh yeah, and the plugin defaults to the Vietnamese Wiktionary version, but this is very easy to change. :) )Developer response
posted 7 years agoAbout the hotkey shortcut, it have to be hard coded in manifest.json, it is the rule of webExtension so I think it'll not be easy to make an option to customize it. Chrome extension already have the built-in hotkey modifier (For example https://www.howtogeek.com/127162/how-to-create-custom-keyboard-shortcuts-for-browser-actions-and-extensions-in-google-chrome/) so we might have to wait for firefox to add this feature. - Rated 4 out of 5by Daniel, 7 years agoGood, i like it. But, when i using "Reader View" mode in Firefox, Quick Dictionary isn't work. Why?
Developer response
posted 7 years agoSorry for the late reply (somehow I didn't receive AMO notification by email). Reader mode acts like a system page (like about:preferences, or addons.mozilla.org) so with the limitation of webExtension for now won't allow extensions to interact with it.
EDIT: "quick button" still doesn't work in reader mode, but you can use Sidebar + QD's context menu to translate in reader mode. https://imgur.com/KWbu1ZX
