Hi Steve, thanks for writing in. The articles are actually tested first in Chrome and Firefox and certainly work generally (I'm writing from Chrome right now), can you describe the issue you're encountering? We're aware of a behaviour on some mobile browsers that requires a "long" click, e.g. for 200 milliseconds or two to get the popover. We're working on a tweak for that (it does work, just not an obvious behaviour), but desktop browsers of all flavours (back to about Internet Explorer 8) will work unless there is a plugin or similar preventing it. Please do contact us with any details and we will look into your specific situation.
Getting that for you now...

She comes from a small village near Chartres in Central France, country of cereal fields and not much else. She left (in a hurry) to study English at the world-famous Sorbonne in Paris, before leaving France in 2007 to experience the “London lifestyle” - and never looked back! She's worked as a professional French teacher, translator and linguist in the UK since. She loves to share her love of languages and is a self-professed cinema and literature geek!
The bilingual articles, do not work in alternate browsers like Chrome, works fine in Explorer though
