Dictionary's Providers

Some of the translation providers support dictionaries.  During the dictionary's translation, ImTranslator switches to the first provider that supports a dictionary.  New dictionary's providers will be available soon.

 
Language Detection

There may be cases when the language detection tool doesn't identify the language of a source word correctly. This may happen to the languages of the same language group (i.e. Slavic languages), or to the loan-words.

Chrome-ImTranslator-Dictionary-Detect-Language

If you know the language of the word you want to translate, select the known language (i.e. Russian) and mark the "Lock-in language" checkbox to secure the language. This will disable the auto language detection and secure the chosen language.
