Popup Japanese Dictionary

Share any Japanese word to look up its meaning, without leaving your current screen! Popup Japanese Dictionary is an offline Japanese dictionary app that lets you look up words just by sharing text. Upon sharing of a word with Popup Japanese Dictionary, a small window will float on the screen, showing the definition(s) of the selected word.

Note: Due to changes in Android's clipboard functionality, Popup Japanese Dictionary must now be activated by sharing a word with the app, instead of by copying a word to the clipboard.

KEY BENEFITS: Dictionary lookups made convenient!
• Free offline Japanese-English dictionary
• Displays Japanese word meanings upon sharing of the word, from any screen
• Word definitions will appear in a small translucent popup window, which floats on top of the screen

• Use it on demand - Minimize the popup window when you want to conserve screen estate; it will be automatically restored the next time you share a word.
