I really like this idea. Can you develop an extension for the new Firefox extension manager? Also what languages were you planning?

It should be all good to go with Firefox. It reads the languages from a .csv file, so I figure people can make their own for whatever words they want to learn.

I see "Please enter your settings" in the bar. When I click on the word "settings", nothing happens. How do I set it?

Settings should take you to:

you can go there manually too.

This is a great extension!

How do I get it do show images like in the screenshot?

What languages does it support? Do you have a link to some .csv files we could try?

(1) Installed it.

(2) It told me to "enter my settings".

(3) I entered my settings (spanish.csv, as recommended).

(4) It told me to restart Firefox.

(5) I restarted Firefox.

(6) Repeat steps (2) - (5) many times.

(7) I uninstalled it.

(8) My other extensions now are broken.

(9) Firefox now only successfully starts up about half the time.

(10) Various aspects of Firefox are now broken; for example, hyperlinks to open new windows no longer work.

Great idea, though.

Yes, I had the same disastrous experience except after uninstallation of the extension Firefox was totally unusable (it started, but I couldn't select any pull-down menus). I had to uninstall then re-install Firefox. Fortunately, the re-install worked correctly and I didn't lose my bookmarks (on uninstall, when prompted, I told it NOT to delete the Firefox directory).

Aye, I had it happen at home, then work (figured it was a fluke). Firefox 1.0 choked upon loading (in extensions code)...I eventually had to uninstall, wipe my profile, and start afresh. Works now though.

Anyone have any german.csv files they want to share?

I couldn't get Arabic to work -- perhaps it doesn't support Unicode? Excel doesn't seem to, so I tried saving from BBEdit... at any rate, it didn't display any words at all, not even the English words.

Also, when I tried to uninstall the extension, it doesn't seem to have done a good job. I used the Firefox extension manager, and it thought it had removed it, but the throbber stayed the same. I had to manually delete this line from the file mentioned in the 'uninstall' section on this site:

chrome://helloworld/content/helloworldOverlay.xul

If that doesn't work because of restrictions on HTML (which that isn't, but oh well), the important feature of the line is that it contains 'helloworldOverlay.xul'.

I oh so totally love the idea. I have long been looking for a way to help me in my learning of German, as after two years of weekly classes, I understand the grammar very well but lack the vocabulary to actually use the language.

I would be interrested in helping out making it a decent Firefox extension, if you would please contact me at fmercille at gmail dot com for details.

I'm interested in working on this project, but the source doesn't seem to be local. I have an Esperanto wordfile (that isn't working, perhaps because of Unicode issues), and I'm most interested in being able to load a local file, rather than being forced to find or upload one.

I couldn't find any easy way to load them from local files due to the javascript security restrictions ... I'll post all the information I can about the program when I get home from vacation, if anyone knows how please post :)

I saw someone else ask the question, I just hadn't seen an answer anywhere- how do you get it to show images (as in the screenshot example) and where did Ravi get them?

I like them, they're good for actions and stuff and if there was a generic file with english and the image, then users could fill in the foreign language of choice for the first word :)

I get back from vacation in a week, I'll put an faq answering everything like the images question and any others you have then :)

Hey- I was wondering if anyone was still working on this project. It sounds great, but right now it doesn't seem 100% compatible. (I had to reset my profile when I tried to uninstall it.)

It would be nice to have the plugin work with a local file stored on your computer as someone mentioned above, since I'd like to use my vocabulary that I'm studying right now and now just random words. Thanks.
