Add synonyms according to the language used by the user #3

First of all, a big thank you for the creation of this package that simplifies the life of many writers.

In order to make this package more accessible to a wider audience, I was wondering if you intended to take into account the language used by the user for the choice of synonyms.

For example, if I am writing a document in French and I cannot find synonyms for my language. I think it would be interesting to add other languages, even if it would require work.

For the detection of the language used in the buffer, maybe you could use guess-language to avoid recreating the wheel.

Hi @rememberYou, I know this reply is awfully late but thanks for using this workflow!

The content displayed in this workflow is being pulled straight from powerthesaurus.org. Even if there was a way for us to detect the language of the user's query, content-specific features like multi-language support is still ultimately up to the team behind powerthesaurus.org.

I am all in favour of the idea supporting multiple languages. Perhaps we can try suggesting that as feedback to the devs working on Power Thesaurus.

That said, we might still be able to work something out in the near timeline if you could suggest a good French thesaurus website that provides similar features to powerthesaurus.org.
