Browser is most used program by me and by most users of internet, so it is important for browser to be high efficient for daily routine. Altough browsers have embedded translation features and exists a lot of browser extensions for translation, all of them have bad quality and absolutely not acceptable for intensive use. This is why i've create Linguist - ultimate browser extension for translation.

    Thank you for your efforts. I feel bad for saying this, but releasing a language extension without conducting a basic grammar check on the description is a significant oversight.

      I have to ask why.

      Did you understand enough of the description to decide whether to use the extension? If yes, then the description is enough as it is.

      And if the project becomes popular, then native speakers will likely eventually volunteer to edit the documentation including any landing page.

      I promise, I’m not being passive-aggressive or sarcastic or anything here. I am genuinely unsure what makes this such a significant oversight and even more surprised at all the upvotes.

      On the contrary, I find it more compelling to read such a description in obviously non-native English, because I would expect that from a person who genuinely needs a more-convenient translator (mostly from English to their native language, because so much of the web is in English) in their browser. Who better to build one?
