Hi everyone,

I built a Chrome extension called Vocabinet and would appreciate feedback from other Chrome extension users/builders.

It is designed for people who read foreign-language content online and want a faster way to translate words or phrases without switching tabs.

Main features:

  • Highlight text on a webpage and translate it
  • Use a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+Y
  • Optional double-click quick translate
  • Uses Chrome’s built-in Translator API
  • Save useful words or phrases to a local vocabulary list
  • Search saved vocabulary later
  • Export saved vocabulary as CSV
  • No account required for the core workflow

A few notes:

  • Requires desktop Chrome 138+
  • Does not work on chrome:// pages or the Chrome Web Store
  • Some language pairs depend on what Chrome supports on your device
  • Chrome may need to download a local language pack the first time

Chrome Web Store

I’d especially like feedback on:

  • Whether the selected-text workflow feels clear
  • Whether double-click translate is useful or annoying
  • Whether the permission set looks reasonable
  • What would make the vocabulary feature more useful

Thanks for any feedback.
