- Learners of Mandarin can increase not only their cross-cultural knowledge, when using the English versions of two of the biggest Chinese newspapers: “China Daily has adopted Engkoo’s “hover translation” feature—hover your cursor over an English word or phrase and get an inline Chinese translation— on its China-facing website” and the People’s Daily, the largest official newspaper in China, uses the same feature in its English website”
- Make sure you are on the right version (English version for Chinese user) of the site (
are the choices you want to see on top) and “Enable Bing Dictionary”in lower right corner: ![china daily engkoo enable_thumb[1]](https://thomasplagwitz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/china-daily-engkoo-enable_thumb1_thumb.png?w=244&h=40 "china daily engkoo enable_thumb[1]")
- Then hover:
