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.

Dictionary with Voice

The Dictionary has the voice functionality. This feature is currently available for 30 languages .
Click the Speaker icon to listen to the original word and its translation.

The Advanced Options allow to choose the TTS service: ImTranslator TTS or an alternative TTS service.

Reverse Translations

Next to each dictionary translation, there is a set of reverse translations back to the original language. Clicking the reserve translation word will change the original word and display its own set of translations with corresponding reverse translations.
