Problem...
I am currently studying French and German and am constantly online reading in both languages. I am always running into new words that I have to copy and past into google translate in order to understand what I am reading. This is getting to be a little annoying, especially with German which I am starting this semester (i.e. Language 101 Problems: I'm looking up more words than I understand :confused:)


Question...
Is there a free service or add-on in Safari that allows me to right click (or use a hotkey) to pull up the dictionary definition / translation into English? I need a reliable program as well as instructions on how to install it, as I am not someone who does this sort of thing very often.
 
Once upon a time, people would buy a dictionary and just flip pages...

Not trying to tease you. All I can tell you is that I went through college with cmd+tab as my best friend to switch from Word to Safari for research, and back. Probably not the easiest option, but I still graduated ;)

Good luck!
