In response to [request thread], here is a userscript for hiding the English translation of Context Sentences on the Lesson, Review, and Item pages.
The translation is hidden under a gray box, and is revealed when you hover your cursor over the box.
This is a third-party script/app and is not created by the WaniKani team. By using this, you understand that it can stop working at any time or be discontinued indefinitely.
Only one day in and the ‘oh shit, this is Japanese’, pause and read steps I am taking now lets me know I really wasn’t properly reading the sentences before. It feels like the difference when I go about the house with my glasses off. Or when I’m doing a procedure at work and suddenly become aware that my supervisor is watching me. I know I can do this, but I’m doubting myself and hesitating…

Yeah, for some reason I never actually gave the context sentences much effort because I just remembered how opaque they were at first. After all the recent discussion I've started really reading through them and it's helping a lot.
Also, this script is almost exactly what I was going to do. Thanks for saving me the effort! :D

Just installed this. Thanks a lot for making it!!!
Well since you've bumped this, I'd like to point out that sometimes, way too often, the usage of the word in the context sentence you'd never figure out based on the definition you are given in WK.

yeah, i've noticed that the wk definition are often pretty vague, which I assume I'll straighten out with additional learning and experience. I mostly just use the example sentences for reading practice.
Anyway the reason why I bump threads for scripts I install is so that others may stumble upon the same script on the top of the forum through serendipity, which is how I found some of the scripts I use.
