Dictionarist for Chrome

Dictionarist is an online service that can offer quick word definitions and instant translations between a number of languages, as well as example sentences that help you understand how words are used in certain contexts.

If you are a Chrome user, the Dictionarist browser extension makes the service even easier to access, as you can just double-click a word on a web page to view its definition or translation. Multiple languages are supported, and the extension is very intuitive.

Once you’ve added it to Chrome, you will need to configure the extension’s behavior. By default, the definition or translation is displayed when you double-click or select a word or phrase, but you can add a trigger key to keep them from being displayed accidentally.

Dictionarist can provide simple word definitions or translate them between English and a number of other languages. You can select the dictionary to be used from the extension’s options.

The extension does pretty much exactly what the description says – when you double-click a word, its definition or translation will be displayed in a new window, and you can even listen to the word being spoken.

When it comes to translations, Dictionarist also provides you with several example sentences that can help language learners figure out how the words are used.

You will probably notice that the extension also adds an icon to the Chrome toolbar. If you want to view the definition of a certain word, or generate a translation, simply click the icon and paste or type it in the search field.

Overall, Dictionarist is one of the best extensions of its kind available for Chrome, so it is most definitely worth a try. It supports a number of languages, so it is great for both translating words and getting English definitions.
