Your extension is similar to many other instant-translation extensions on Chrome store. I.e. Google Translate extension (which I use and am quite happy with) is free and has 5M+ users.
IMHO your real problem is that Readlang do
es not offer enough features that would differentiate it from other free offerings.
- steveridout 11y agoDo the other extensions: - Store all your translations, along with their contexts, to your account? and have a accompanying web-apps which let you: - review those translations with flashcards, prioritizing the most frequent words in the language, and utilizing a spaced repetition algorithm so that you spend more time on the words and phrases you find difficult? - export of those flashcards for use in other apps such as Anki - upload novels to read in a distraction free, paginated reading interface which works well on mobile devices? - watch videos with sync'd transcriptions? - share and vote on native texts and videos with a community of language learners? If so, please let me know! And if you didn't realize any of the above - I take the blame for not communicating it better on the landing page. The problem is that overwhelming users with info usually isn't a great idea either. Hard to strike the right balance. I don't expect everyone who installs the Google Translate extension to install Readlang - since mine is targeted mainly at intermediate and advanced language learners.
- erroneousfunk 11y agoThe flashcard feature caught me by surprise, and I loved it! I just started playing around with the in-page translations, went back to the site, and was very pleasantly surprised! Much better than any of the language learning browser extensions I've used before!
