Are you thinking of something like PeraPera Kun plugin for Japanese (or the
Chinese equivalent: ChinesePeraPera)?

Hello LLTIers!
I am hoping to get some ideas for enriching hypertext/
non-roman character input / right click glossing / auto spellcheck outside
of the OS.  Our accessibility specialist is a big firefox plugin fan and
this got me to thinking that we must be close to something like a
language pack-free, browser-based, multilingual computing environment.  I
have zero R/D staff here am hoping maybe other schools have documented
this kind of stuff.  I have in mind tricks like right clicking on words in
the browser and having language dictionaries/spell checker plugins/mods
installed that do their magic.  Excuse my ignorance on the subject - any
pointers very appreciated!   Joseph
