Hello there, I am really hoping someone might be able to help me, I have a specific problem which I would like to solve as it would be extremely useful to my life.
I’m learning German through an online course where I read a section of German text and then translate it. One of the quick ways that I translate to make sure I’m understanding correctly is by using the Google Chrome extension for Google Translate. I just highlight the text I’m unsure about, and immediately a little extra box pops up (see screenshot) showing the German and English translations. This is such a useful tool I can’t tell you how much I value it!! I would like to apply this principle more broadly by taking a page or so of German text, putting it on the Internet, (how I would do that I don’t know) and then using this pop-up box as I have been doing within my course. But I’ve noticed that the Google chrome extension for Google translate, only works on certain websites? (I have zero experience on how websites work) All I know, is that I just want to generate a page of German text and then go through it using this extension to improve myself. I don’t see an easy way to do this. I have tried entering German text into Facebook and WhatsApp-web, as messages, but both times the little extension box does not pop-up, I really want to use this opportunity to get better with my German. Please could somebody help me with a workaround to this problem kind regards, Gin
