    • RE: A Plan for the development of Dictionariez Pro, your input is needed!

      @curiosity Thank you for your insight. I can see that the mobile version is highly anticipated. According to my plan, and if all goes well, the mobile version will also be free for basic features, similar to the browser version. Premium features, like PDF support or cloud storage syncing, will be part of the pro version. My goal is to make the app enjoyable and ad-free for casual use, with payment being optional for those who want to access more advanced features and spend more time with it.

      I understand the frustration with subscriptions, but I’m concerned about the sustainability of a one-time fee model, especially given the ongoing costs of cloud services. I also plan to regularly update content, build up the community, and share more learning resources. It's all need time, passion and incentives as I talked about.

      Thank you for the support. You will get the pro version for free too, plus 3 codes for your dispose 🍡 . Hope you will like it 💌

    • SidePal: Your Language and AI Ally in Side Panel

      I recently took a detour to develop an intriguing tool for Chrome's side panel, which is an impressive new feature in Chrome that I believe many people will find it quite useful. In some cases, it could even be more straightforward and convenient compared to Dictionariez, which uses a popup window to display results. SidePal is designed to work seamlessly within the side panel, showing dictionaries that integrate perfectly with this feature.

      Here is how it looks.

      image1

      It's works well with Google Translate too.
      image2

      Isn't it handy to have ChatGPT on the sideline ready to answer any questions from you?
      image 3

      Unfortunately, not all web dictionaries work in the side panel because they need to be embedded in an iframe, and some websites don't allow this. For example, my favorite dictionary, Longman English, doesn’t support iframe embedding.

      You can still try adding more dictionaries to your collection from this site, just as you would with Dictionariez. If you receive a warning that the dictionary couldn’t be loaded, it means it’s not supported on SidePal, so I recommend using Dictionariez instead.

      In this sense, SidePal is a lighter version of Dictionariez. It has its own advantages and can be used alongside Dictionariez. I hope you find it useful.

    • RE: Oxford Learner dictionary issue

      You are right. I fixed it in this link: https://pnlpal.dev/topic/335/oxford-learner

      Install this dict it will automatically replace the default oxford learner dictionary.
      In next version I will fix the default dict.

      Thank you for the feedback!

    • Google Search Console reports duplicate field url for my site

      Google Search Console reports a critical issue ⚠️ for pnl.dev: a 'duplicate URL property' is preventing my website from being indexed 🚫.

      It turns out the problem was caused by a small HTML attribute: itemprop="url" 🧩. This attribute is part of Microdata, used to define metadata for search engines. But if misused, it can confuse crawlers and hurt indexing 📉.

      You’ve probably already noticed that I’ve added a dark theme to Captionz. This update is aimed at providing a more modern look and reducing eye strain during extended use, especially for those devs who prefer dark mode while working with developer tools or other platforms.

    • Captionz - major update to make youtube more useful for language learning.

      Hey! Hope you had an awesome weekend.

      Just wanted to share an update I’m really excited about: I’ve been working on Captionz, and it just got a major upgrade! 🎉 It now supports language-specific search, which means you can search for words spoken in a particular language inside YouTube videos.

      So, for example—if you’re learning Swedish like I am—you can type in any Swedish word (or English word?), and Captionz will show you YouTube videos where people are actually speaking Swedish. No more digging through irrelevant content. It’s like turning YouTube into your own personal language-learning search engine.

      Ever tried using YouTube to learn a language?

      Maybe you're following some cool SFI teachers or native speakers on YouTube—maybe it’s French, Spanish, Japanese, whatever. That’s awesome, but YouTube doesn’t really give you good tools to learn from those videos, right? That's where Captionz comes in. It’s made specifically for language learners who want to use real, native content to study smarter.

      Here’s what it can do:

      • Dual subtitles? Yep. See both the original language and your native language side-by-side. Super helpful for understanding context and structure.

      • A-B repeat? You got it. Replay a sentence or phrase over and over until it sticks. (Yes, it’s that good ol’ A-to-B loop feature from back in the day!)

      • Search any word or phrase? Big yes. Want to hear how native speakers say “hej då” or “ça va”? Search it and boom—real people saying it in real videos.

      • Add notes? Kind of. Right now, you can add notes during the video, and they’ll fly across the screen like flying bullets. It’s a fun start, but still in development—private notes and better note management are on the roadmap.

      Why this matters

      This project really means a lot to me. I love YouTube, and I genuinely believe it’s one of the best tools for language learning. There’s always someone out there creating exactly what you need to hear or see—you just need a better way to find it. That’s the whole idea behind Captionz.

      Whether you're just starting out or you're already deep into your language journey, I hope Captionz makes it easier, more interactive, and honestly, more fun.

      A few quick tips to get the most out of Captionz

      1. Use dual subtitles to compare sentence structure and learn natural phrasing.

      2. Loop tricky sentences with A-B repeat and shadow them until they sound natural.

      3. Search new words you encounter in lessons and see how they’re actually used by native speakers.

      4. Follow channels in your target language and combine them with Captionz for a powerful study combo.

      Thanks for reading this far! 😄 I’d love for you to try it out and let me know what you think. More features are in the works, and your feedback helps shape where this goes next.

      By the way—what language are you learning right now? And do you have a favorite YouTube channel for it? Comment under the topic. I’m always looking for good recommendations!

      Happy learning!

    • Ordböcker: The all-in-one dictionary app for learning Swedish.

      Hi everyone,

      I hope you've had a great week of learning languages and coding! As someone learning Swedish myself, I know how tough it can be—especially if you're shy like me and feel awkward speaking with native speakers. Reading news articles? Even harder, with all the unfamiliar words.

      That’s exactly why I built Ordböcker: an all-in-one dictionary app to make Swedish learning easier and less intimidating.

      Marquee Promo.png

      With Ordböcker, you can instantly look up any word on a webpage—just double-click it. You’ll get definitions from multiple trusted sources with one click on the icon. Vocabulary is the biggest challenge when reading Swedish news—that’s exactly what Ordböcker helps with.

      For example, my wife, who’s an intermediate learner, prefers svenska.se for Swedish–Swedish definitions. I’m still a beginner, so I stick with Glosbe.

      Here are some dictionaries I find helpful and set as default, but you can suggest more:
      🔹 Beginner-friendly:
      Glosbe (Swedish–English)
      Reverso (context examples)
      Captionz (YouTube examples)
      🔹 Intermediate:
      Svenska.se (SAOL, SO, SAOB—all in one)

      Ordböcker also lets you export your word history to Anki flashcards with just one click—super handy if you’re serious about remembering what you’ve learned.

      If you haven’t tried Anki yet, it’s a fantastic app that helps you review words over time using spaced repetition (a fancy way of saying it reminds you just before you’re about to forget).

      Honestly, Anki is my secret weapon for learning languages. I owe half my Swedish vocabulary to it—and now with Ordböcker, adding new words takes less effort.

      Swedish verbs change differently, so I also wanted it to find the root form of words—not all dictionary tools can do that. Certainly Dictionariez is more focused on English, and don’t really prioritize Swedish. For example, when I look up the word fart, I want the Swedish meaning to show up first in Ordböcker.

      Ordböcker1.png

      If you’re already using Dictionariez and mainly learning Swedish through English, I recommend switching to Ordböcker. It offers most of the same features but prioritizes Swedish over English.

      My tip? Don’t take on too many new words at once—stay motivated, not overwhelmed.
      Focus on words you actually see and hear often. It’s more useful to really know 10 common words than to half-remember 100 rare ones.

      When you add words to Anki, keep the cards simple. Just the word, a short definition, maybe an example sentence. If a card feels like homework, you’ll end up skipping it.

      Try to review a little bit every day. Even 5–10 minutes of Anki goes a long way—consistency really is the secret.

      And remember, you don’t have to understand everything right away. Getting the general idea is already a win!

      If you try out Ordböcker, I’d love to hear what you think. Got suggestions, ideas, or something that’s not working? Your feedback helps me make it better for everyone learning Swedish!

    • RE: Weblio国語辞典

      @eu-Y
      Hey, thanks for the awesome dict! I tweaked the code a bit to get it running. Just a quick note—you forgot to add the triple backticks (```) around the code. In Markdown, those are used to format code blocks so everything shows up nicely and hence Dictionariez would recogonize it as code block.

      You should be able to see the edit history of your post to see what I have changed 🙂
      Happy coding!
