@dyess002

I am making it, stay tuned.

I couldn't reproduce the issue. Every time I looked up a word, it was added to my history list. Have you tried deleting some of the history? Chrome allocates very limited memory for each extension, so the history might just be too long.

v1.2.0 Apr 09, 2025

• Cleared the webpage's head section when the reader is enabled to prevent original styles from interfering.
• Fixed an issue where exiting reader mode failed if the background script was inactive.
• Ensured the page always reloads upon exiting reader mode for consistent behavior.

@Myst1cX

Glad you like it. If you have any issues while using it, please let me know.

v1.1.0 is out!
Most fonts now support Cyrillic, Greek, and some even include Indian scripts.
I also added a print button for easier and better-looking printing.

@Oleg-Lapchynskyi

v1.1.1 is out! Thank you for your suggestions. Most fonts now support Cyrillic.

@Oleg-Lapchynskyi

That's a good suggestion. Also CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) fonts would take into consideration as well.
Stay tuned, v1.1.1 will be out soon.

@HvK_nl
Hi, thank you for the feedback. I added a few Dutch dictionaries here: https://pnlpal.dev/tags/dutch
Check them out.

{
        "dictName": "Glosbe Dutch-English", 
        "windowUrl": "https://glosbe.com/nl/en/<word>",
        "css": ".font-medium.cursor-pointer{ font-size:19px; } #search-container { display:none; } "
}

{
     "dictName": "Linguee Dutch-English",
     "windowUrl": "https://www.linguee.com/english-dutch/search?source=auto&query=<word>",
     "css": ".dictLink.featured { font-size: 18px;} #outer_div {min-width: 0 !important;} #mainlayout {padding-left: 0 !important; padding-right: 0 !important;} .lMainNavbar { display:none !important; }"
}

{
      "dictName": "Youglish for Dutch",
      "windowUrl": "https://youglish.com/pronounce/<word>/dutch",
      "css": "header,#miniheader {display: none !important;} body {margin-top: 50px !important;}"
    }

The Swedish synonymer dict: https://pnlpal.dev/topic/953/synonymer

{
  "dictName": "Synonymer",
  "windowUrl": "https://www.synonymer.se/sv-syn/<word>"
}

@Long-Bùi

Forgot to mention that you can customize the prompt by using the addDict function in the options page console. For example:

addDict({
  "dictName": "chatgpt definition",
  "chatgptPrompt": "Please define the word: <word>"
})

As always, you can share your dict here at Dictionariez Trove. Or you can ask for help.

@Curiosity

Glad you figured it out.
Yes I added a new option in the settings needs to be enabled.

Some clarity on the technique: Dictionariez doesn't use ChatGPT or Gemini's API, so there's no need to configure client keys or secrets for either. Essentially, it creates simple paths to send your message to the AI tool you choose. It's that simple. Sometimes, simplicity works better than more complex tools.

When your text is sent to the AI, the default prompt is:

Please help me refine the text to make it clearer, more concise, correct any grammatical errors, and ensure the output is simple: \n\n"<word>"

(Note: "<word>" refers to the message you've selected.)

The best part? You can customize the prompt just like you would with any dictionary in Dictionariez. Use the addDict function in the options page console. For example, you can change the helpMeRefinePrompt for the ChatGPT dictionary:

addDict({
  "dictName": "chatgpt definition",
  "helpMeRefinePrompt": "Please help me refine the following text:\n\n<word>"
})

As always, you can share your dict here at Dictionariez Trove. Or you can ask for help.

Hi everyone, I hope you're having an amazing week!

Great news—Dictionariez v5.4.0 is out, and it comes with a brand-new feature that I'm personally loving: "Help Me Refine", which utilizes AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini.

AI is everywhere these days, and instead of just using it to look up word meanings, I’ve found something even more exciting—it can help refine my writing! Before I send a tweet on BlueSky, write an email, or draft documentation for my projects, I always ask ChatGPT to polish my text. It's become a go-to tool for me!

That’s why I decided to build this feature into Dictionariez as a first prototype. ️ Here’s how it works:

Type your text in a web editor (like on BlueSky)
Select your text
Click the Dictionariez icon (or use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + X by default)
Let the AI tool refine your message instantly!

It’s amazing how helpful AI tools like ChatGPT can be in this situation!

This feature works seamlessly on GitHub, Gmail, BlueSky, and even within our Programming & Language community. I hope it will work across all web editors, everywhere!

Give it a try and let me know what you think! Your feedback will help make this feature even better.
