Hi Guys,
Does anyone know or recommend a plugin that provides the following function;
I have some pages text on a WP site which will be read by foreigners whose first language is not English. I want them to be able to hover the mouse over a highlighted word and the definition to pop u in a box/speech bubble....
Anyone any ideas what plugin can provide this function?
Tks a million for any help :)

Hi Stephen,
This may be redundant functionality, since nearly every modern web browser includes the ability to right-click on any word within a web page and look up the definition.
But there are a number of plugins that enable you to create your own glossary of terms, then highlight and display them in a pop-up. Here's a great list to start with:

Another plugin worth considering is Explanatory Dictionary:

These plugins require you to do all the hard work of specifying which words or phrases you want to define, then adding the definition. But if you're creating a website for a niche audience with specialized content, this may be just the ticket.
Hope this helps!
