Installed it and put a couple of Nena lyrics. It works great. Where other ‘translators’ are a bit word for word, your Idiomatic translation nailed it (for what I know). Not only that, your “AI Thoughts” were almost…human – telling me “It’s a positive and motivating sentence for German learners” Indeed!
Stell dir vor
Alles geht
The plug-ins’s word for word was the same as another translator’s final answer: “Put yourself before everything goes” which has a VERY different Gefühl from the real translation. Its another Hampterkaufen run on toilet paper.
Hi Emanuel,
Could you please link your analyzer in the AI Tools menu above? I remembered you had it, then couldn’t find it in the tools, so I thought it was some other site, and did not go looking for it.
Thanks,
Kofa
Sadly, this does not work with MS Edge/Bing; you can add the extension but it will not allow you to use it. As an alternative, I asked Bing Chat GPT to “analyze this German sentence for me”, and it gave me the following:
Certainly! Let’s analyze the grammar of the German sentence: “Die Szene wird von dem Charakter geändert hat.”
Overall, the sentence translates to: “The scene has been changed by the character.”
Please note that the word order in German sentences can be flexible due to the cases, but the structure described above follows the standard pattern. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
I assume this is right??
So, there is an alternative (I think…) for those of us who use Edge/Bing.
Meh, it’s okay-ish, but it didn’t mention that the sentence is in passive and calling “von dem Character” just the object is a bit misleading.
In my extension, I ask for a word for word analysis, which is a little more detailed but it’ll also possibly miss out on recognizing a passive voice.
I am unable to locate the extension on Chrome. It gives me a long list of extensions.
Do you mean you can’t find it in the store, or you can’t find it once you’ve installed it? Also, you need to access it from Desktop, not mobile.
I was on my desktop. In Edge ( not chrome), i download the extension and could see the button to use it but was not allowed to actually press on the button… It was…. Inactive?? (Paled out in color and not functional). Not sure that will help… I agree, CHAT GPT isn’t perfect.
It won’t work on Edge, it only works on Chrome :)
Oh well! So be it.
Ich darf, die Entscheidung des Universums in dieser Angelegenheit zu akzeptieren. :)
Hahaha, du darfst das “zu” weglassen und das Komma vor “die Entscheidung” auch.
The extension is neat! You should add a pronunciation function :)
Oh, that reads out the sentence?
The technology is there, but it’s not exactly cheap yet, so then the extension would NOT be free anymore :)
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to avail this membership for free. This is a very big help for me as a student.
I use Opera as my browser and it loads this extension, but I cannot see how to use it. Opera provides Aria as an AI and translates a German sentence if I ask it, but I cannot see how to get your extension to perform its magic. Danke.
That’s interesting. As far as I am aware, Opera does NOT have a sidepanel like Chrome does and the extension only works as a sidepanel, not a popup. Do you see a sidepanel in opera?
Amazing! Is a firefox version coming up?
The thing with Firefox, as far as I am aware, is that they do not have this sidepanel that chrome has. Only chrome and brave have that. So Firefox would need a popup for this and I don’t think it’s practical because the analysis is pretty long.
As soon as Firefox adds a sidepanel, I’ll make a Firefox version.
My Plätzchen Story: When I was an exchange student in high school in Germany, many many years ago, I was in biology class, and was have trouble pronouncing “Blutplättchen” (blood platelets). So it always came out as Blutplätzchen- blood cookies LOL. When I returned home to the State my family gave me a bag of little red cookies! I still can’t pronounce them correctly
Sehr hilfreich! I ran it on a sentence from the WienTourismus website and it gave me a good analysis. One small correction: the header in the extension dialog box says “Garmmar Analyzer.” ;) Laughed out loud at the HAL reference in the blog post. :D Vielen Dank und einen frohen Nikolaus-Tag!
Whoops, what a blunder, that typo :).
I’ll fix it with the next update, but Google always takes like a day to approve a new version, so it’ll be up for a while.
Hallo,
I think I’m going to like this tool, but… I have no idea how to install it… I clicked on the link, a page appears and then what?
I’m not good with this kind of stuff and maybe am just being thick… but some help from you or any of our more successful friends would be appreciated :)
Bis Morgen!
Hey ho, I have changed the link so it directly goes to the install page.
Here’s what you should see:
All you have to do is to click “add to chrome” and give permissions.
It ONLY works on desktop. On phone, I think you land at the webstore mainpage.
