[Feature Request] add dictionary in other languages #724

Open firinael opened 3 years ago

Not sure how hard it'd be, but if it was possible to use at least two dictionaries at the same time it would make the app super useful for people that are bilingual.

You know this for sure already, just for others happening to end here. You can often mimic this request by using the "Web search"-plugin. E. g. for English to Dutch for the https://dict.cc/-site, add a new shortcut, e. g. ennl? with the URL https://ennl.dict.cc/?s={{query}}. If you need German to Italian, use a shortcut e. g. deit? and the URL https://deit.dict.cc/?s={{query}}.
This depends, of course, if the search engine allows you to specify the language. What could be helpful if you need multiple languages: I'm using a shortcut with DeepL and the auto-detection of the languages: Shortcut: dl? (or whatever you like, of course), URL: https://www.deepl.com/translator#auto/auto/{{query}}.
