Usage

Changing the language

The default language is english (en). To change it, open the plugins setting page (chrome://extensions/?options=alaejlmlpgcffloicejpccebbeeibemo) and change the Target Language. Alternatively, if using the plugin via a JavaScript injector, manually edit inject.js and change line 5 (TARGET_LANGUAGE) to the desired language. But what letters should I set it to?

Installation

When using chrome or any chromium based browser, simply download the extension from the webstore.
