Inspired by: Zhongwen ā the Chrome/Firefox popup dictionary by Christian Schiller. This plugin would not exist without his work. Dictionary lookup, binary-search index, greedy segmentation algorithm, and pinyin conversion are all ported faithfully from Zhongwen's source. Huge thanks to Christian for building and open-sourcing it.
Zhongwen itself traces back to Rikaikun / Rikaichan / RikaiXUL. CC-CEDICT dictionary by MDBG. This plugin inherits GPL-2.0 from Zhongwen.
