- Navigate a history of searched words
- Search by typing interface
- HSK level information
- Configurable to display only info you want

You can color the characters on the page according to how common (green) or uncommon (red) the character is so you know how "important" the character is. Using this "distribution frequency" you can colorize characters by frequency in the language as a whole (based on a Chinese web corpus), or the page being viewed.
Another common way to know how "important" or "difficult" a character is is by using the HSK level (汉语水平考试 (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi ), Chinese Proficiency Test administered by the Hanban. Chinese Console
Characters are formed by radicals, and Chinese Console decomposes characters into radicals for better understanding. At the touch of a button you can view images associated with the word you've looked up to get a better idea of what that word means on the web. You can also customize where the console appears on the page so that your content is always easily viewable.
If you don't need to display some of this information the console can be configured to show only what you need. You can also maintain a separate configuration (position, and info display) both globally (all pages) and per-site if needed.
The console uses a 'hot-key' to activate it's searching, to stay out of the way of normal page interactions. This key is configurable by you in a variety of ways for both Mac and PC users.

It is a great plugin to learn Chineese and practice translation. Very lightweight and easy to use. Superusefull. Recommended 100%.
Very nice and promising extension, it is evident there has been put a lot of though in the creation of it. I wish you would continue to make fellow Mandarin learners happy by updating and improving on your work. As a student with no money to go around, I can't do anything but encourage you with this review.
Great extension. But could you please update the Text to Speech feature! To read the selected text out loud. Thanks!
