Awesome dictionary that provides English -> Spanish and Spanish -> English. Thank you.

A reddit user asked for custom font support for CJK. Why would I say no? As a CJK user, I understand the struggle. It’s much cooler to use your own CJK font!
So starting with version 2.3.0, you can now add and manage local fonts.

V2.3.0 Nov 01, 2025

• Added a custom font page, allowing users to add and manage local fonts.

• Improved responsive UI for the options page on Firefox for Android.

Today just released v2.2.0 on Firefox!
I've finally earned the Available on Firefox for Android badge. And this update brings tons of improvements. Check it out

Developing for Firefox Android wasn’t easy (especially using WSL on Windows ), but I documented the whole process on Bluesky:

V2.2.0 Oct 31, 2025

• Added support for Firefox on Android!
• Improved responsive UI for Android devices.
• Prevented page flash when auto-enabling reader mode by hiding the unstyled original page.
• Reader mode no longer auto-enables when the page host changes.
• Increased player z-index to prevent overlap from Google ads.

FREE TRIAL & BONUS REWARDS ALERT!

N.B. The text-to-speech service I use is proprietary and paid unfortunately, which means it costs real money to run each request.
That’s why it sounds much better than the TTS service built-in in most of computers, such as the built-in reader mode on Firefox. I’ve provided a generous 100-use free trial for everyone so you can enjoy it without worries.

Want to extend your free trial?
Rate the extension on any of the three web stores (Chrome, Firefox, or Edge) or star the GitHub repo .
You’ll get an extra month of free access as a thank-you for your awesome support .

Please share your username and a link to your comment in the thread of this post .
I’ll grant the extended trial once it’s approved .

Something wasn’t quite right. I was caching audio while reading paragraph by paragraph, but if a paragraph was too long, the browser could hit the storage limit and throw a "storage quota exceeded" error. I fixed that in v2.1.1, which also includes improved mobile responsiveness. That’s dev life!

v2.1.1 Oct 27, 2025

• Improved responsive design, especially for mobile devices.
• Fixed a caching issue where large text could trigger a storage quota exceeded error.

Updated the reader app again! Finally added auto page turning + reading. Now I can just listen to books on Royalroad or Scribblehub. Any other ebookworms?

V2.1.0 Oct 26, 2025

• Added automatic page turning for continuous reading, works nicely on websites like Royalroad or scribble.
• Improved "read whole page" mode: now continues reading even if a paragraph is selected.
• Added a visual indicator for "read whole page" mode.
• Fixed error banner overlapping dropdown selectors.
• Fixed an issue where short text could block reading.
• Fixed "continue reading" not working when the voice was changed.
  

Hi, language learners and fellow ebookworms! Hope you’re all having a good weekend, or at least finding a little time to read between everything else. I’m excited to announce that PNL Reader 2.0 is here! This release brings the first Pro feature—voice mode—and a host of enhancements to the reading experience.

Listen Up! (Or Don’t—It’s Your Choice)

Ever find yourself reading a long article or web novel on RoyalRoad or ScribbleHub and wishing someone would just read it to you while you sip your coffee and look thoughtful? Wish granted! With the new audio player, you can now select any text and have PNL Reader read it aloud.
This read aloud feature is part of the Pro plan, but everyone gets a free trial quota of 100 uses—so you can try it out and see if it fits your reading style.
Even better, the audio mode automatically detects the language of the text and supports as many languages as you can think of. Learning Swedish? Give it a try and see if it’s better than 8sidor.se! Whether you want to practice your listening skills, rest your eyes, or just hear what your favorite web novel sounds like in a near-human-yet-still-robotic voice, the choice is yours. And if you prefer the sound of silence, you can still read quietly with a paper-feel background like it’s 2008.

Themes for Every Mood

We’ve also given the theme selector a glow-up. Not only can you switch between dark mode, light mode, and a whole palette of other themes, but you’ll also see a handy color preview icon for each one. No more guessing what “Solarized Light” actually looks like—just click and see. Now you can match your reading mood, your wallpaper, or even your cat’s fur color (no judgment).

A Reading Page That Looks Like Paper (But Won’t Give You Papercuts)

The reading page has been prettified with a sharper background, border, and shadow that make it look like a real sheet of paper—minus the risk of paper cuts or coffee stains. It’s easier on the eyes and just feels right, whether you’re reading late at night or pretending to work during a Zoom call.

PDF Support: Now Featuring arXiv and more

For the academics and research enthusiasts among you, PNL Reader now supports loading PDFs from arXiv and a bunch of other sites. For example, you can open a research paper like https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.10028v4 or https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00134-020-06294-x.pdf in your browser. Then, just click the PNL Reader icon—PNL Reader will automatically open the PDF in its distraction-free reader mode. Even better, it’s fully integrated with Dictionariez, so you can look up any word in the PDF instantly with a click. Reading academic papers (and actually understanding them) could be much easier!

Still the Same Great Dictionary Integration

And don’t forget, PNL Reader still plays nicely with Dictionariez, so you can click any word and instantly see what it means. Because who has time to open a new tab just to look up “defenestration”?

Open-source and download links

Full transparency is still the key. PNL Reader is open source, so it’s available for anyone to review and contribute to.
Chrome: PNL Reader on Chrome Web Store
Firefox: PNL Reader on Mozilla Add-ons
Edge: PNL Reader on Edge Web Store

Thanks for reading, and for being part of the PNL Reader community! If you have feedback, suggestions, or just want to share your favorite new theme, drop by Programming N' Language Community. Now go forth and read (or listen) to your heart’s content. And remember, the only thing better than a good ebook is one that reads itself to you.

Dictionariez v6.1.0 is out!

This release fixes an issue with parsing accent and diacritic marks, such as in languages like Thai, caused some lookup errors. My apologies to anyone affected, and thank you for your patience

Also, cloud sync for dictionary collections (for Pro users) is finally here! Your dictionaries can now stay in sync across devices.

After releasing v6.0.0, I spotted this Firefox comment:

User: “Oh no, the new version breaks Thai language. 3/5 stars.”
Me: sprints to computer, sweating, deploys patch at light speed
Also me: “Please sir, may I have those extra two stars now?”
User (a day later): “It’s been fixed. Well deserved, sir.”

@chlee816
Hi, how about this one:

https://pnl.dev/topic/72/naver-dict-korean

is it what you are looking for?

@Trung-Trần

Does it really help? seems it's only utilizing google gemini to give some answers about the meaning of the word. But thanks for the dict, I will keep it here as it might help someone else.

After a long journey, I’m thrilled to announce that PNL Pro is now live with version v6.0.0 on Dictionariez
! It took time and care to get here, and I’m so excited to share this milestone with you.
Thank you for being part of this adventure!

Free Features Added Along the Way

While working on Pro, I didn’t stand still. In the meantime, I’ve added several highly requested features for everyone:

• PNL Reader: A brand-new tool to make any web page easier and prettier to read. Enjoy a distraction-free reading experience right in your browser!
• PDF Reader: Now fully compatible with Dictionariez, so you can look up words directly in PDFs. This was one of the most requested features from users, and I’m happy to deliver it for free.

These updates make the PNL platform more powerful and useful for all users, whether you’re using the free or Pro version.

What’s New in v6.0.0?

Here’s what’s included in the latest release:

• Introduced PNL Pro: Unlock advanced features and support the project.
• ️ Enabled cloud sync for local history (Pro users): No more worrying about Chrome’s storage quota—sync unlimited words across devices.
• ️ Automatically remove oldest history items when exceeding Chrome storage quota: For free users, your oldest words are now automatically managed so you don’t lose recent lookups.
• ️ Added dblclick option: You can now choose to trigger lookup only on double-click, for more control.
• 🧐 Improved word validation checks: More accurate detection of valid words in any language.
• 🧪 Expanded unit test coverage: Even more reliable and robust.

---

️ Why Cloud Sync Matters

The main feature of PNL Pro right now is Cloud Sync. Chrome extensions have a strict storage quota, you can only save about 500 words before you start losing your oldest entries. With Cloud Sync, you get unlimited word history:

• No more worrying about losing words you’ve looked up.
• Your history and preferences are safely stored and accessible across all your devices.

---

️ What’s Next? The Roadmap

PNL Pro is just getting started! Here’s what’s planned for the future:

• AI-Powered Definitions: Get word definitions from advanced AI models. Since AI services have real costs, this feature will be part of the Pro plan.
• Read Out Loud with AI Pronunciation: In PNL Reader, you’ll soon be able to have web content read aloud with natural AI voices — perfect for language learners and accessibility.
• Auto translate subtitles to your language on Captionz for any video.

Your support as a Pro user will help make these features possible!

I’m excited to announce that the first implementation of the Pro Plan is now live! It took some time, but the results are finally coming together. Meanwhile, I haven’t been idle, as you can see from the Crafting Space, I’ve been busy adding new features.

And starting today, the Pro Plan is officially here!

@Tran-Hung It looks really good, thank you!

This is so brilliant, thank you. How come I forgot about DuckDuckGo.

This video is so cool! It dives into what happens to your brain in zero gravity, showing both the quick changes during weightless flights and the long-term effects astronauts deal with after being in space.

Welcome, Language Explorers!
This space is dedicated to help you find a language partner from anywhere in the world!
It was inspired by a dear friend of mine who had this wonderful idea. I loved it and thought: why not make it real? So here we are!

We’ve got lots of language learners and polyglots here. I am sure everyone knows at least one language and is probably learning another.
Looking to exchange languages?
Do you speak a language someone else is eager to learn?
Then you’re in the right place!

If you haven’t found someone offering the language you're looking for, don’t worry, just post your own offer!

When creating your post, follow this simple template:

1. A brief introduction of yourself.

Tell us your name and where you're from, just a general location like “Sweden” is enough! This helps others align time zones with you.
Sharing a few hobbies can also help you connect with like-minded friends.

2. Which language can you offer?

To get something, you gotta give something!
Let people know what you can help them with.

3. Which language do you want to learn?

Human languages, programming languages , or even alien languages , just no pigeon talk

4. How often would you like to exchange?

Once a week? An hour per session? Be clear so people know what to expect.

5. How can others contact you?

You can be messaged right here, or if you've joined our Discord server , you can chat by voice or video there too!

️ Don’t forget to add tags to your post!
Use tags like Offering English or Seeking Swedish so others can find you more easily

Thanks for being part of this community. Have fun and happy language learning!
