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
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.
