Addition of the "Look up Turkish words" option

[aeozel]

Hello, Dictionariez is exactly the dictionary extension I was looking for, the one I love using, and benefit from greatly. Thank you very much. I have a request for you: Dictionariez offers support for a wide variety of languages, but Turkish language support is missing. We urgently need it. Could you please add Turkish ("Look up Turkish words") to Dictionariez? Thank you.

Released V6.2.0 of Dictionariez with support of Arabic and Turkish, just for you!
Though it's still under review on Chrome and Edge, but Firefox version is live.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if you try it in Arabic or Turkish as your feedback helps make it better!

@river Hello,

Thank you very much for your prompt response and for undertaking the necessary work.

My native language is Turkish, and I am trying to learn English and Arabic. Up until now, when I selected an English word with the mouse on a webpage, a popup would show me the English definition of that word, which helped me understand it better. However, sometimes when I couldn't understand the English definitions in the popup, I needed a Turkish explanation. This is why the idea came to my mind that displaying results in two or three languages simultaneously in the popup would be more practical and beneficial. I had sent you a message regarding this.

Currently, in the popup window: if the selected word is Turkish, it shows a Turkish definition, but if the selected word is Arabic, it shows an English definition. There is no consistent logic for the explanation in the popup. Could a change be made to implement the following: Regardless of the language of the selected word, the popup window should simultaneously display results in all the languages the user has selected in the Dictionariez settings. For example, if the user has selected all three options—"Look up Turkish words," "Look up Arabic words," and "Look up English words"—the popup window should display results in these three languages at the same time. If there is a display issue with the popup when more than three languages are selected, the language selection could be limited to a maximum of two or three languages.

I really enjoy using the Dictionariez application. It is very useful to me. Even if the suggestions written above cannot be implemented, the current version of the Dictionariez application is excellent. Thank you very much.

Aha, thank you for the detailed feedback! You’d like Turkish meanings shown alongside English ones. That’s tricky because definitions come mainly from Google Dictionary and Wiktionary, which are primarily in English. That’s why Dictionariez asks only which languages you’re learning, not your main language.

For learning English, there is a hack to get translation of your native language:

1. please open this google result
2. find on the right side there is a translation tool, set it to Turkish
3. refresh the page, the translator should stay in Turkish, right?

From now on you will get Turkish translation when you double click on any English words.

There is no consistent logic for the explanation in the popup.

Yeah you are right, because Dictionariez tries different sources to get definitions. None of the sources are perfect, so it has to compensate each other.

Hopefully AI could solve this problem, in the next few weeks, I am gonna provide an AI solution, which could show definitions in your native language and be more contextual and friendly. Stay tuned.

Please try the google hack, comment me the result, I am eager to see if it works for your.
