Add-on summary

CWS (Chinese words separator) is pronounced as Swiss.

Learn Chinese by reading, listening, and practicing speaking Chinese with this CWS army knife. Oh, and you can practice writing with it too.

Can be used by native Chinese speakers to learn English as well.

Instantly makes any web pages in Chinese as your learning resources.

Suddenly remembers a Chinese word (or needing to quickly know the Chinese word(s) of an English word(or phrase)) that is not in the page? CWS has a searchable dictionary (🔍 icon in CWS toolbar pop-up) that you can use in this situation. You can also use your device's microphone to search the word instead of typing it out.

Set your own learning priorities by color-coding and/or annotating the words with Pinyin(or zhuyin/bopomofo), HSK, or Familiarity. You already know how to pronounce most words, and you need reinforcement on their tones? Just color-code or annotate the hanzi(Chinese character) with tone. You just want to learn the Chinese language without needing to learn hanzi? You can make CWS convert the hanzi to pinyin automatically. The learner decides what to learn based on his/her priorities, not the tool.

User reviews

--Update 18/09/24 Developer replied that it is possible to remove Hoverless Video Dictionary by setting annotation to 0pt. However, when I open the VWS settings while in YT, the only option to change Hoverless Video Dictionary is from 50% up to 150%. Finally, the extension seems to be crashing YT since the past few days. I don;t know if an update caused it. The only other extension I use is "Youtube Double Subtitles", but at first it had no issues, now Youtube (and technically my whole browser) crashes. --Original review I love this extension to use as a dictionary. I just wish I could disable the YT subtitle translations in some way or another.

By far one of the best dictionaries. However, it seems that whenever I am using this while YouTube is playing a video, the video will always get paused when the pop-up for the dictionary appears, not sure how to fix this.

I have no word for this extension, it is just soooooo good! I hope more language translations will be available in the future!
