I’ve tried most of them and they seem amazingly buggy. What I really need is something that translates from Chinese ot Pinyin and English and ideally where it goes into a sidebar and also hovering so you can read it. The main issue is that most of these are pretty buggy, so caveat emptor. “Filination”:http://www.filination.com/blog/2006/10/11/top-firefox-extensions-to-help-you-read-chinese-online/ […]

I’ve been looking for something works pretty interactively. Right now I use “xuezhongwen.net”:http://xuezhongwen.net for printed translations and also for doing things on mobile. Chinup seems to be the best extension for firefox. Uses tooltips to show the pinyin and the english and chinese. Most of the tools don’t show pinyin. Powered by ScribeFire.
