Introducing Corgi

We have been working on Corgi for approximately a year during our free time.

For our initial post, we would like to provide a brief overview of our browser extension, including its purpose and the individuals who can take advantage of its features.

  • Corgi automatically translates multiple words in the language you are learning on any website and highlights them in the text. Upon hovering over the word, its translation becomes visible.

  • You can add these words to your study list, and the next time you encounter them on a website, they will be highlighted in a different color. Hovering the mouse cursor over them will allow you to select the correct translation.

  • Additionally, you can learn these words through games or within the extension. Designing games is quite complex, but we strive to regularly include new games and features to satisfy you.

  • If you are learning a language from other sources or want to add your own words to the extension, that's not an issue. You can manually add words that will appear in priority order on websites, aiding you in memorizing them as quickly as possible.

  • We have incorporated flexible exclusion settings in Corgi that enable you to choose which websites to utilize the extension on. You can configure Corgi to operate solely on specific sites or, conversely, not function on particular sites added to your exclusion list.

  • We have also introduced a charitable feature to our extension to motivate people to learn foreign languages. For every 50 words you learn, we will donate money to PlasticBank, which is fighting ocean plastic. Every 50 words equates to one plastic bottle. It's not a daunting task for us, but we are happy to contribute our part towards solving the issue.

We support learning multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese (simplified), Korean, and Japanese.

    Nice UI. I would suggest to remove the translation box when the user clicks outside of the box, so it doesn't cover the text on the page.

      Thanks for feedback!
      Yes, we will definitely do that in the next update :)
