Rikaichan

Post by Daniel »

Well, Greg (at least I'm pretty sure it was Greg!) mentioned Rikaichan on here a long time ago, and I just now finally got around to installing it. I just have to say, wow, what a time saver! You just hover your mouse over any Japanese word and it'll pop up a definition. Great! Thanks for pointing this tool out, Greg, I really appreciate it. Any of you that are studying Japanese should really give it a try!

You're welcome! I use this tool all the time. I was just talking to a real Chrome advocate acquaintance of mine last week and I asked if there was such a tool for Chrome. He said "Yeah, it's built in. It translates the whole page for you!" Well, I don't want the whole page translated into ENGRISH. I am at the point where I just need to translate kanji and words I don't know already. Rikaichan is an invaluable resource for those who can make general sense of Japanese grammar, but just need help spot translating certain words.
