From the maker
Like many Chinese Americans, I can speak Chinese fairly well, but I struggle with reading and writing. I've always wanted to improve, but I've never had the time to sit down and study. SparkleChinese is a browser extension that forces me to get better at reading Chinese by swapping English words on the pages I read with their Chinese equivalents. SparkleChinese is free and runs entirely on-device.
From the website
Sparkle is a browser extension that swaps a few English words on the pages you read for the Chinese you are learning. Hover a word for the reading and the meaning. Matching runs in the browser.
