Field notes
The page describes an addon configured from the game's AddOns options or with `/wfj`, with controls to toggle translation by area and change the hold-for-English key. Its popup dictionary is described as showing a Japanese word's reading, dictionary form, and contextual English meaning. The site also distinguishes untranslated lines from lines whose English source has changed; proper names remain in English so they match player conversation and guides.
