Some Words: "No definitions found" #40

Specifically, I have tried 'art' and 'in'. Many others take much longer than I would expect to load.

The problem with "art" and "in" is that the Wiktionary API puts translingual definitions under en together with English definitions.

Currently, when matching by language name, it only checks the first entry. Since here the first entry has "Translingual" and not "English", it doesn't match.

You can workaround this by setting the language to "en" instead of "English".

Thank you. Somehow, it also made loading 10x faster.
