This article experience version: Edge v10.1.0
Accidentally installed a word translation browser plug-in developed by Chinese people since 2013. It used to be open source, but now it is closed source.
Full-featured to tears.
So comprehensive that he threw the little green whale backhand...
The official introduction is that it supports one-stop word marking/screenshot/webpage full text/audio and video translation extension, supports 9 domestic and foreign mainstream translation services such as Google, DeepL, ChatGPT, Baidu, etc., and can be used for full text translation. Can be used in PDF.
For a detailed introduction, please see the official website: Word Translation-Official Website, https://hcfy.app .
My experience: out-of-the-box, can meet the needs of daily use, no ads .
I usually use DeepL translation, and I am still used to using ChatGPT directly on the web version.
Next, briefly introduce its advantages.

Built-in PDF reader
It even introduces a built-in PDF reader for the unconditional support of PDF...
If you want to use this function perfectly, my suggestion is to tick it 允许访问文件URL.
After checking, open the PDF file in the browser, and you can directly open its built-in PDF reader.
I have to say that the editing function of this PDF reader lacks highlighting and underlining directly, and can only add text and drawings, and there are directories and bookmarks.
But its translation function is very good, no matter how many words are drawn, it can be translated. As shown below, a small black button will appear, click it:
Moreover, it can automatically ignore line breaks and useless spaces in the PDF. If the "Show Text Box" function is turned on, you can also use this function to easily copy the text in the PDF.
The biggest flaw of its function is that it can only open 30 PDF files a day, which is more than the membership required.
But I personally feel that I can't use 30 foreign language documents a day.
Reading function
I appreciate this reading function very much. It is well designed that it can read the original text directly without displaying the text box of the original text.
This function directly allows me to omit the process of right-clicking to search for words on the web and obtain the pronunciation. And it's not only used in English, you can also use wow for characters you don't know in Chinese.
panel configuration
Its translation panel is highly customizable and awesome. You can open several translation engines at the same time, or you can simply keep only one; you can put all kinds of buttons on the panel, or you can put none of them.
Screenshot translation and other special features
It comes with a lot of interesting special features, such as full-text translation, but they all have a daily limit.
Personally, I am very surprised by its screenshot translation function, but it is a pity that its screenshot translation is done 5 times a day. Once the upper limit is exceeded it will display:
Other functions are also somewhat limited. The complete member restrictions are as shown in the figure below. I think this restriction is actually not that big, because I don’t like to use these restricted functions:
