Dictionary explanations in more languages

  • Definitions, example translations and usage notes are now available in Japanese, Chinese, French and Spanish as well as English.

Simpler controls in the extension

  • โ†‘ / โ†“ always control playback (play/pause, repeat) โ€” even while the definition panel is open. Esc or Backspace still closes the panel.

  • The "Save line for dictation" button has been removed.
