Translantion on hover not working...

Recently, when hovering over text in the sidebar or the closed captions, the translation of the word does not pop up anymore. I use the chrome extension for windows 11.

What could be causing this? This is happening on YouTube. I am not sure about Netflix, I don’t have an account.

If I need to provide any other information, please let me know.

Thanks

I tried to reproduce it on my end and it worked - could you tell me what language it is set for?

I have it set for Spanish. Is there a way I could better diagnose the problem? I am assuming when a word is hovered over it makes an API call to some translation site, so maybe I could look at the network traffic in Chrome Developer’s tools in order to see if that call is even being made. Or what can I do?

This feature is the main reason I purchased and continue to use this extension. It’s aggravating to have to switch to another window or tab and do the lookup myself for a word or phrase and have to pause the video I am watching.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, is your translation language different from the study language (spanish)?

Is “Show mini dictionary” enabled?

Yes. That worked. For some reason my my settings got messed up.

Thanks
