Brilliant, keep up the good work
Thanks, there's a LOT of room for growth and definitely not an easy problem to solve. More updates in the future, though!

#12Sigh. I was working on EXACTLY the same idea. Well, looks like these guys have the momentum now and the product looks good. Good luck!
Thanks for the support! But yeah, what lotyrin said. You should keep working on it because making a genuinely helpful language learning service isn't an easy problem by any means.
EDIT: And it needs all the help it can get.
Re: Show HN: Chrome extension that replaces words into a different language
#13Very cool idea but slightly disappointed by the language options and constraint on websites. I barely use any of the sites it supports and don't learn any of the languages. I'm wondering how difficult it would be to pipe random words into google translate and replace them.
OH! And it works on other sites too, but that's "experimental" since it's not tested on all sites (which is why we put the on/off slider). Might be interesting to build a DOM parser- in the future -that figures out where relevant, "could be translated" content is in the webpage.

Re: Show HN: Chrome extension that replaces words into a different language
#15Cool, but the example has a few errors. "students" in spanish is "estudiantes", the example is missing an S. Also, "more" is "más" in spanish. Accents are important for meaning in a lot of languages.
