I like this concept very much not only as a ways to enhance my vocabulary but also because I can add in Japanese dictionaries to work bilingually in two languages. In addition to the Google Translate listing, I also adding a second Google Translate entry so that I can translate in either direction EN = JP (Japanese) or vice versa, JP = EN. Fantastic extension and very useful and conveniient. Thank you for creating this extension.

Suggestion
One small improvement if I may suggest, it would be great if possible to simply press 'Esc' to close the dictionary popup window. Currently, it is necessary to mouse click the dictionary Window's upper right 'X' before the obstructing dictionary closes. An 'ESC' press would be a convenient to be slightly more efficient for productivity and utility. I do being able to select from multiple dictionary choices as I read in English and Japanese. Currently I have multiple tabs pinned for various look up resources, but the popup list of multiple, selectale dictionaries Can now permit me to eliminate those pinned tabs. Thanks for creating this useful extension.

I had to downgrade 5-stars to 4-stars because the one primary dictionary resource I wanted to use, Google Translate, no longer functions correctly. It worked at first but whatever happened to this extension becoming corrupted now causes to Google Translate, when selected, to briefly flash for a split second and then it disappears. I know about the placement of the '%s' to accomplish a search. I attempted multiple reconfigurations of Google Translate but the same net result. This needs fixing but apparently maintainance of this extension seems to not be a priority.

This is how a dictionary extension should be.
