Vocabulary from your reading

A vocabulary extension should help after the lookup, too.

An instant translation solves the current sentence. A vocabulary tool also needs a way to keep the word, understand its context, and return to it. Check that complete path before choosing an extension.

Test one real word from lookup through later review.

One word. Two websites. Another chance to recall.

An English-learning example with a German meaning. These sentences were written for this explanation.

1. An article about urban gardens

The garden is part of a sustainable plan for the neighbourhood.

You select “sustainable” and request a translation.

Meaning in this example: nachhaltig

The word is stored in your vocabulary collection.

2. Later: a different article about housing

The team is looking for sustainable ways to build homes.

Saved word, due for review

If the saved word appears on an eligible page and is due, you can open a short review.

What meaning comes to mind? Open the explanation

Here “sustainable” again means “nachhaltig”. A due review in Stickly asks you to enter an answer. This explanation does not record a review result.

Schematic explanation, not a product screenshot. Re-encounters depend on your reading. Highlights and inline practice have separate controls.

Start with your browser and your pages

Try an article you normally read, not only a vendor’s demonstration. Check how you request a translation, how you dismiss it, and whether selecting text for copying still feels comfortable.

Extensions have browser and page restrictions. Check the current store listing, permissions, supported language pair, and site behavior before making a reading tool part of your routine.

Find out what happens to a translated word

Can you find the word again, correct its translation, keep its sentence, and remove it? A collection full of accidental lookups is harder to use than a small collection you understand.

Stickly’s selection translation stores vocabulary. Its word hub lets you manage saved words and review them. Remembered words can also return as highlights on later eligible pages, with inline review when due.

Treat page controls as part of the tool

You may want translations without highlights, or highlights without a quiz. Stickly keeps selection translation, remembered-word highlighting, and inline practice independently controllable.

Read a tool’s privacy policy before using personal material. A translation feature may process selected text to provide its service; that is different from a claim that no content ever leaves the page.

Your five-minute extension test

  1. Open an ordinary article in your learning language.
  2. Translate one word and locate it in the saved collection.
  3. Check edit, remove, and review options.
  4. Try the page controls and read the permissions and privacy policy.

Questions about this workflow

Is a translation extension the same as a vocabulary extension?

They can overlap. For vocabulary learning, check whether a lookup leads to a manageable collection and an actual review action. Do not infer those features from a translation button alone.

Does Stickly change words into another language automatically?

The flow shown here begins with a deliberate translation. Saved words can later be marked and reviewed. Automatic substitution of arbitrary page words is not part of this described flow.
