Dictionary search inside vocabulary page's edit dialog. #248

This is a really awesome project!

One feature I'm missing is a regular vocabulary dictionary lookup. For example, there is a word I don't understand and want to translate. I would then want to lookup that word in LinguaCafe dictionaries to translate it and then have the possibility to add it to the vocabularies for training.

So similar to a regular dictionary like dict.cc but with the ability to add the word to the database afterwards.

This might be similar to #205 but not only to add it to the database but also to have the ability for translation lookup just as a word within a book.

I think this can be a follow up task to #205. If I implement that, then add a dictionary search to the vocabulary search page's edit dialog, it would allow you to do what you described.

Neither of these are difficult to implement.
