Double-clicking on words on this site gives you a translation!

Question

Not really a question but a great tool I just discovered and want to share with everybody lol.

When one double-clicks on a word on this site (the whole site, not only the forum) one gets the translation of that word! It even works now while typing this text.

Maybe everybody else knew this already, but I'm sharing this anyway

¡qué bueno!

ps. It doesn't work with hyperlinks

Answer 1

Thanks for bringing this up. I bet a lot of people don't know about this fabulous feature.

However, a word of caution -- always go to the dictionary to double-check the meaning.

Answer 2

It is really convenient! I've discovered some meanings don't appear in the site's dictionary, but do translate when you double click them.

For example, parvada. It does not appear in the dictionary with that meaning, but still gives you a meaning when you double-click it in a post.

Answer 3

I believe that this is a feature many users are unaware of. I actually posted an answer about an hour or so ago where I made reference to this feature. Thank you for highlighting it here. It really is a great tool and one I, personally, am thankful for.

Answer 4

¡Un instrumento estupendo! ¡Gracias!

Answer 5

I never knew that! That is so much easier than opening a seperate tab to look up a meaning. Thank you for sharing!

Answer 6

Thanks for bringing this up, I have already been using it; and have found it really useful! Although I already use it, I'm glad you've brought it up so others can too!
