note to tester: If you plan on testing extension you must retrieve your own api key by heading to this link: https://rapidapi.com/googlecloud/api/google-translate1/ Make sure to create account and scroll down to "Header Parameters" and to the right of "X-RapidAPI-Key" should be your api key. Paste that key into the popup.js file in place of the api key's already there and it should work. Also when running the extension, have it run preferrably on an article or reading webpage of some sort and if it doesn't provide the summary refresh the page and run the extension again
