Whale StoreĮven the Whale extensions store got an English facelift, and noticeably more extensions since the last time I checked it out. There are a very few minor elements still in Korean, but I promise you won't even notice them. You can see the dreaded "Plugin compatibility mode" there for all your online banking.

SettingsĪll the settings are in English too. My friends and I have, *cough*, other ways of getting music. I don't have an account with these services so couldn't try it. This is another feature that could potentially be attractive to K-pop fans. The little widget/mobile site tools in the Sidebar got translated too, including Belli and Bookmarks and even the Music Player. I can see the legions of loyal K-pop/Hallyu fans adopting Whale en-masse now. With this, Whale can handle smooth and accurate Korean-to-English translations on-par with Chrome. Good, because Naver's oldie Site Translator sucked.

I think this is really a key competitive feature of Whale, and likely the real reason Papago recently upped their character limit for translations. Here you see the icon is a US/UK flag, and the page has been fully translated.

Click it, and the browser will offer to translate the page into your language (and give the option of always auto-translating). Once you're set to English, pages in Korean (like this Naver News entertainment article) will show a little Korean flag in the menu bar, next to the capture tool.
