There was no free Dictionary API on the web when I wanted one for my friend, so I created one.

How to change language? #1

Closed veganexe closed 6 years ago

Suppose I want to use Spanish, how do I set it as default?

I think there is no support for any language other than English for the dictionary. Looking at the reverse engineering of the chrome extension, it looks like the addon just switches to the google translate API when a definition isn't available.

Perhaps IF, if other languages are to be supported, a seperate repo to scrape the translate API would be a better idea, leaving this one, as minimalist as possible.

Here's the TTS API : http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&total=1&idx=0&client=tw-ob&tl=es&q=cerveza
