Change the translating platform please!
I just wanted to say I really dislike the change that you all made recently to how you see the translated words. I know the site it's still very new and are experiencing new things to make it look better but the problem I have with it and a big reason what attracted me to the site was that when I translated something I could see that translation within that 'block' of the word. There was no annoying popup or anything changing about the page so therefore I could read quicker without interruption. This new design you have where the entire line goes down and shows you the translation up top is so terrible in my opinion. I don't see how this is being more helpful than how it was before other than the fact that you can see the word and the L1 translation at the same time. I think at least you should build in a setting where if you like the older version than you can choose that. If not I don't know if I'm going to continue studying on this site, it is almost a deal breaker for me.
You can change this setting from the reader sidebar, within the AA tab. Or from the Web Reader menu: set Translations Replace in the Appearance Settings.
Hope that helps. (Sorry for the change of style – I meant to change the default for new users and not existing ones like yourself, luckily it’s easy to change back :-)

Ok thanks Steve, I appreciate it! I'm glad you are making it so people can customize it how they like. That's something a lot of these sites similar to this are missing.
