Überwort: German - English Dictionary

This browser extension allows you to translate German words by simply hovering over them with the mouse.

- Can be turned on and off with a single mouse-click.

- Highlights the characters whose translation is displayed in the pop-up window.

How Does It Work?

Once Überwort is installed on your computer you'll see a little icon showing the Überwort logo near the upper right-hand corner of your browser. By clicking on this icon you can turn the extension on and off. Click on it and wait until you see the word "On" displayed in red and white on top of the icon. This tells you that the dictionary is active. If you want to turn it off again, just click on the icon again and the red "On" label disappears. So with a single mouse-click you can activate or deactivate the dictionary.

Once Überwort has been turned on, showing the red "On" label on the icon, you can go to a web page in German and point your mouse at some German words. A pop-up window opens up automatically showing you the translation of the word you were pointing at.
