About CodeToSpan for Translation

CodeToSpan for Translation helps programming learners read translated documentation more comfortably. Programming documentation often contains inline code, keywords, and short code fragments. Browser translation can sometimes distort those parts or break the layout. CodeToSpan reduces these issues by replacing eligible code tags with span tags before translation. Main features: - Converts eligible code tags to span tags. - Turns processing ON or OFF from the popup. - Lets you configure which code elements are processed from the Options page. - Skips pages whose language appears to match the browser language. - Excludes specific hostnames from processing. - Shows the current tab hostname from the popup with Check Domain. - Adds the current hostname to Exclude Domains from the popup. - Shows an R badge when an already open tab needs reload after settings change. - Shows "Outdated Settings Detected." in the popup when the current tab is using old settings. Important notes: - Already open target tabs need to be reloaded after settings changes. - When RUN / STOP is changed, CodeToSpan asks whether to reload the current tab. Automatic reload can be enabled in Options. - Exclude Domains uses exact hostname matching. example.com does not match sub.example.com. - Some dynamic web apps may behave unexpectedly if code elements are rewritten. If buttons or links become unresponsive, stop the extension for that page or add the hostname to Exclude Domains, then reload the page.
