Word definitions for Japanese or Chinese empty or not being fetched? #9

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

Maybe this isn't implemented or maybe it's just so that google doesn't have the definitions for Japanese or Chinese words? Either in english or japanese/chinese, the Definition field remains empty. No errors displayed, it just doesn't fetch anything. Is there any alternative to get definitions that doesn't involve Migaku?

If they could be found at https://translate.google.com/, it's a bug in the add-on.

Maybe Google doesn't provide definitions for Chinese on Google Translate. But Japanese should work now. The add-on had a bug that should be fixed now. But it appears for many Japanese words Google Translate will show no definitions.

I'm only aware of Fast Word Query and Yomichan.
