Chinese Pera-kun
Have you ever wished you could hover your mouse over a character or group of characters and see it’s pinyin and meaning instantly?
Well, a plugin for Firefox, Chinese Pera-kun, can help you do this. It’s not perfect but it comes close.
To get Chinese Pera-kun, just go to its plugin page, download then install it, and drag its icon onto your navigation bar through View -> Toolbars -> Customize.
Also, check out Remembering Simplified Hanzi which is also mentioned on the same Chineseexpat.com page.

Hello there,
Thanks for your visit to the Kanji Hanzi Hub :-)
But most of all THANKS A LOT for this information!! I've used the Firefox plugin Rikaichan a lot for Japanese and found it indespensible. I had in mind to go searching for something similar for Chinese, but now I don't have to.
Happy Holidays to you too!
Hi, Happy 2009! I do love Pera-kun. I use it all the time nowadays. It means I don't have to keep flipping over to a dictionary when I'm reading Mandarin online.
Oh my god, this is amazing!!! I just downloaded Firefox today to try this and it's amazing! It even works in my online email! Thanks a bunch!
