This script was originally designed for personal use, and was being developed while learning how to program in JavaScript. As such there are likely to be some portions of the code that are poorly designed or unnecessary, and may well be liable to bugs. Keep in mind the accuracy of Translations relies soley on the API's, not the code.
On rare occasions, the settings button doesn't load properly but the script still runs. A page refresh usually fixes this.
The script was created and tested on Brave and Firefox, but may have issues with other browser
Important note: Developer mode must be enabled for Tampermonkey or equivalent, in order to allow for proper injection to the webpage. This needs to be done via your browser extensions.
