melink14/rikaikun
Description and use
Rikaikun is an open‑source Chrome extension that instantly provides the reading (furigana) and English definition of Japanese words when you hover over them on any web page, making Japanese text far easier to understand. It works by parsing the page’s content and looking up terms in a built‑in dictionary, delivering real‑time translations without leaving the browser. The project is maintained on GitHub under the melink14/rikaikun repository.
