Hindi Popup Dictionary by Yogesh Wankhede

Select an English word on any page and read its Hindi meaning, pronunciation and
part of speech — without leaving the page and without a network connection.

• Select a word and let go. The meaning appears as soon as you release the
  mouse over a selection.
• Right-click, or press <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>L</kbd>, to look
  up the current selection explicitly. This is how it works on a touch screen, or
  where the page scrolls under a still pointer.
• Prefer hovering? Enable Look up on hover in the options, optionally only
  while holding <kbd>Shift</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> or <kbd>Alt</kbd>.

It also works inside embedded frames — video players, comment threads and search
widgets.

• The Hindi answer in Devanagari, with an ISO 15919 transliteration.
• The part of speech.
• The English sense the translation answers, or an example sentence showing the
  word in use.
• The pronunciation, with <kbd>A</kbd> or the speaker button.
• Which dictionary each answer came from, and its licence.

| Key | Action |
|:---|:---|
| <kbd>A</kbd> | Play the pronunciation |
| <kbd>C</kbd> | Copy the word and its answer |
| <kbd>Shift</kbd> | Pin the popup, or release it |
| <kbd>Esc</kbd> | Close it |

Clicking anywhere on the page also closes it, and selecting another word replaces
it. The letter shortcuts are ignored while you are typing in a text field, and
while <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>, <kbd>Alt</kbd> or <kbd>Meta</kbd> is held.


A selection-triggered dictionary is only pleasant if it does not interrupt the
act of selecting text, so anything that is not plausibly a lookup is declined
before any data is read: a paragraph, a <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>A</kbd> over a page, a
URL, an email address, a date, a number, or non-Latin text. A password field is
never read at all. Both length limits are adjustable in the options.

The extension makes no network requests, collects nothing, and has no
analytics or telemetry. Dictionaries are read from local files only. Your
settings stay in your own Firefox profile.

• Firefox 142 or later.
• Pronunciation needs a Hindi voice installed on your system. Without one,
  the extension says so in the browser console and reads the transliteration
  instead, which is only a rough approximation. See the README for how to install
  a Hindi voice on Windows, Linux or macOS.
• Coverage is strongest for common English vocabulary and for government,
  scientific and educational terminology. Rare or specialist words may have no
  entry.
