Purple means remembered
Purple highlights indicate saved vocabulary that is available as a translation while you read. They are reminders, not interruptions: open one when you want to revisit the word.
Orange means due
Orange highlights indicate a word that is ready for inline review when word practice is enabled. The color signals an opportunity to recall the meaning before looking at the answer.
Green marks immediate success
A successful answer can turn matching highlights green and reopen the translation bubble. That is immediate feedback for the current page; durable progress remains with the vocabulary item.
Make the page quieter
Stop highlighting from the bubble menu when you want a page-level pause. Use browsing settings for a persistent highlight preference, or use the tab and website controls when the scope should be temporary. These controls remain independent from selection translation and word practice.
