      Dictionariez is a language learning tool that supports a wide variety of languages. As our community grows, we're looking to expand our collection with more dictionaries. You can find and add these resources to your collection through Dictionariez Trove.

      But we don't just need dictionaries—we're open to any websites that can improve the learning experience, like Wikipedia or Bing Image Search.

      Your contributions are essential to helping us grow. Share your recommendations today and help us make Dictionariez even better!

      How to add a new dictionary to your collection

      To expand your Dictionariez collection, start by browsing Dictionariez Trove. If you don't find the dictionary you're looking for, you can easily add a new one in two ways:

      1. By posting on pnlpal.
      2. By code.

      By posting on pnlpal

      This is the way.
      Create a new topic in the Dictionariez Trove section. Include the JSON code in markdown format within the topic content, and use relevant tags to categorize the dictionary.

      Here’s a screenshot showing the creation of a new dictionary called 'Merriam Webster'.

      Screenshot 2024-10-02 202918.png

      By code

      On the Dictionariez settings page, open Chrome's developer tool and use the following function:

      addDict(
          {
              dictName: 'Google Search', 
              windowUrl: 'https://www.google.com/search?q=<word>', 
              css: '#searchform,#top_nav {display: none;}'
          }
      )
      

      Note: The css code is optional and can be used to customize the target website to better fit the app.

      Once added, the new dictionary "Google Search" will appear at the end of the dictionaries list of your Dictionariez. Click on it to open and test it out.

            • Voice Dictionary (Sesli Dictionary): https://www.seslisozluk.net/{searchTerms}-nedir-ne-demek/

              I found new dictionaries sites. I'll share these below.

                NOT: This is alternative search URL. This URL is https://nedir-sozluk.com/anlami/{searchTerms{ | }{ |-}}-ne-demek. If you search compound word thas has 2 and more word this URL gives error. For example “muhabbet kuşu” means that budgerigar in Turkish. You need to use dash (-) instead of space between words. https://nedir-sozluk.com/anlami/muhabbet kuşu-ne-demek gives error but https://nedir-sozluk.com/anlami/muhabbet-kuşu-ne-demek works successfully.
              • What's, What Means Dictionary (Nedir Ne Demek Sözlük): https://www.nedirnedemek.com/{searchTerms{ | }{ |-}}-ne-demek
                NOT: You need to use dash (-) instead of space between words like What's Dictionary. https://www.nedirnedemek.com/muhabbet kuşu-ne-demek gives error but https://www.nedirnedemek.com/muhabbet-kuşu-ne-demek works successfully.

                    Sure. Done here: https://pnlpal.dev/topic/161/naver-dict-korean-russian/

                    As for tags, you could choose the already existed ones, or create by yourself.

                    Also the function addExtraDict only exists in settings page of Dictionariez. Here to add a Topic, it should be in the format of JSON.

                    Anyway, thanks. I am looking forward to more feedback from you.

                          Yeah, you are right. http://www.dildernegi.org.tr/TR,274/turkce-sozluk-ara-bul.html is a dynamic website, means the query result is triggered by code without changing the URL. It's not common. But I think I have to figure out a way to support this kind of sites.

                          The others are added now. Though some sites like "TurkishDictionary.net" or "Glosbe" have a whole bunch of dictionaries that I also need to figure out a way to support them all.

                          Thanks.

                            Hi River,
                            thank you for the very serviceable work you are doing. I'm Daniele, an Italian guy working on multilingual projects. I do not know whether this is the best place to make a request, nonetheless, here are the best dictionaries as far as Italian, German and Spanish are concerned. Could you please add them to your list? I wish you all the best for your language learning! 加油! Thanks!

                              Hi River, almost forgot, I am trying to use your extension within www.overleaf.com and I think there is some issue, i.e. the option of looking it up doesn't work. Or maybe I am so new to the extension that I am not able to activate it.

                                Hi, thanks for your feedback.
                                All functions seem OK on overleaf, see:
                                alt text
                                Could you tell me more specifically?
                                Also, rae.es is already listed here:
                                https://pnlpal.dev/topic/56/el-diccionario-spanish
                                You can add it into your collection.
                                The other two I will add later. Thanks.

                                  Hi River,

                                  thank you for the swift reply.

                                  Actually you are right, on the right side (the pdf rendering of the text on the left) the dictionaries work properly.

                                  I was trying to make it work on the left in order to be able to look up words using the comment feature of overleaf, thus looking up words absent from the actual text, but pertaining to the original.

                                  Now I see that even there, right-clicking on a word it does open a Firefox menu, only, the word is not copied there (I do not know if it is meant to be) and searched, the search window is empty.

                                  However, to do so I can go to a tab where I have a dictionary open!

                                  Another very good German dictionary is: https://www.dwds.de

                                  Thank you for the good work,
                                  Daniele

                                      Finally all those dicts have been added in dictionariez-trove.
                                      Please help me review them, see if they suit your purpose?
                                      Thank you.

                                        my turn to apologise. I could look into it only today. All dictionaries work fine in the fairy dict. I will get back as soon as I can do more testing. Thanks a lot! Good work!

                                            On Firefox, I just can't get the user selected text by code in an editable element, like an ACE editor. It seems a bug of Firefox.

                                            But on Chrome, it all works fine. You can get the selected text of the editor of overleaf.com.

                                            I'll tell you if I find a solution.
