About this extension
- Detects the hovered word in normal webpage text
- Detects the page language from the `` attribute
- Queries the matching Wiktionary MediaWiki API for the word's wikitext
- Parses the page's language section for IPA, part of speech, and the first short definitions
- Shows a tooltip with the word and its IPA on the right, and one line per entry:
<word class> <first meaning>(IPA is omitted when the page has no pronunciation data) - When a word is an inflected/derived form (e.g. a conjugated verb), the root lemma (e.g. the infinitive) is fetched from Wiktionary and shown underneath the derived word
- Results are cached in memory for the session; requests are debounced and aborted while the pointer is moving
The parser is config-driven; each language carries its own section headings, POS markers, pronunciation templates, and cleanup rules. Supported out of the box:
