New Trick!

So this is probably old news to everyone else, but I just learned how to do hovertext on AO3!! You know, since it’s annoying to have to either go find your own translation on google or (in the case of alien languages) wait for the end where the author notes can translate. 

The code, if you’re interested, is:

<span title="text to display on hover">original text</span>

I just tested it on my old story “Fighting Words,” so here’s an example: at one point I had Leia snarl the Mandalorian curse “Nim gar troac varbeck” which translates to (in a mash of canon and my headcanon) “may your genitals revolt.” Which I also displayed in italics. So the HTML is:

<span title=“may your genitals revolt”> <em>”Nim gar troac varbeck.”</em></span>

So now when you hover your mouse over the Mando’a curse, you can see what it means! (I understand it does not work for people reading in mobile, but I have not tested this yet myself.)

Oh man, now I’m excited to do this with future stories, and I may go back and do it for the old ones too!

Y'all remember hover text? What a time that was, a classic component of vintage tumblr

I… didn’t understand a word you just said. Are you making fun of me?
