Perapera-kun: A Chinese Pop Up Translator for Firefox
Posted on | August 3, 2010 | Duncan | Comments Off
I wanted to highlight an awesome translator pop-up tool for those who use the Firefox internet browser, called Perapera-kun. Perapera-kun is an extension add-on for Firefox that acts as a pop-up translator for Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, into English or German. I haven’t tried out the Korean, Japanese, or German dictionaries, but the Chinese-to-English dictionary provides translated meanings of words, and also the pinyin pronunciation of the word. This is a great tool to have if you’re wanting to venture into the Chinese net-space to browse some local BBS forums or news sites.
To get started with Perapera-kun:
1. Get the Firefox browser
2. Install the Perapera-kun add-on
3. Install the Chinese-to-English dictionary file
(Note: The Perapera-kun website is hosted on a WordPress site, which is blocked by the Chinese firewall. Here is a direct link to the Chinese-to-English dictionary file)
Happy surfing!
