• Dutch, Greek, Hindi, Persian and much more, Dictionariez V7.1.0

    Hello everyone,

    Just a few days after the major release of v7.0, I am back with another update! Dictionariez v7.1.0 is now available, and it is all about breaking language barriers.

    🌍 4 New Languages Supported

    I heard your feedback loud and clear. You wanted more languages, and I am delivering. This version adds native support for 4 new languages:

    🇳🇱 Dutch 🇬🇷 Greek 🇮🇳 Hindi 🇮🇷 Persian (Farsi)

    This means you can now double-click words in these languages to get instant definitions, pronunciations, and translations. For Persian, I have ensured full Right-to-Left (RTL) support for a seamless reading experience.

    🎯 Smarter English Lookup

    English is a language that loves to borrow words. Words like café, détente, naïve, or jalapeño are common in English texts but often tripped up the dictionary because of their accents.

    In v7.1, I have improved the detection engine. Dictionariez now smartly recognizes these accented words as English when you are reading in an English context, ensuring you get the correct definition without switching languages manually.

    📚 Better Definitions for Polyglots

    For learners of German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, and French, I have tweaked the engine to prioritize Wiktionary results. Previously, Google Dictionary provided definitions in the target language (e.g., German definitions for German words), which could be challenging for beginners. Wiktionary results often include definitions in English, making it much easier to understand the meaning while you are still mastering the language. Don't worry though, if Wiktionary comes up empty, it seamlessly falls back to Google Dictionary to ensure you always get a result.

    🛠️ Robust & Reliable

    I have also added a suite of new automated tests to ensure these new features work perfectly and don't break existing ones. This makes Dictionariez more stable and reliable than ever.

    It's now already available on Firefox, and needs a few more days for review on Chrome webstore and Edge addons. Stay tuned!
    Update to v7.1.0 asap and keep exploring the world of languages!

    Happy Learning,
    River

  • Dictionariez/Ordböcker v7.0: A New Milestone in AI-Powered Language Learning

    Screenshot 2025-12-30 201201.png
    Happy new year everyone. I am so so thrilled to announce the release of Dictionariez v7.0.0, a major milestone that transforms how you interact with new words and languages on the web. This version brings the power of AI directly to your fingertips, along with significant improvements to usability, performance, and the popular Anki integration.

    Here is what’s new in Dictionariez v7.0.

    🤖 AI Lookup: Context is the King

    The absolute star of this release is the new AI Lookup feature. Traditional dictionaries are great, but they often lack context. With AI Lookup, when you click on a word, you don't just get a static definition. You get:

    Contextual Explanations: Definitions tailored to how the word is used in the specific sentence you are reading. Rich Details: Synonyms, antonyms, and usage examples generated instantly. Smart Pronunciations: AI-powered pronunciation guides.

    I know you come from all over the world, so I’ve added a Response Language Setting. You can now configure the AI to explain words in your native language, making learning even more efficient. For instance, if you are learning Swedish, you can set the response language to German to get definitions and examples explained in German.

    It also fully supports Right-to-Left (RTL) languages; if you choose Arabic or Persian, the result will automatically be displayed in the correct RTL format.

    ⚡ Enhanced Workflow & Anki Integration

    I have supercharged the lookup bubble to be your command center. The new toolbar offers quick actions to streamline your study flow:

    Switch Lookup Modes: Easily toggle between standard Dictionary Lookup and AI Lookup. Comparing results helps you get the most accurate understanding. Always be critical! One-Click Anki Export: Save words to your Anki decks directly from the lookup bubble or the main app window. (I know some of you have been waiting for this for a long time, I am very happy to say it's finally delivered.) Quick App Access: Open the full dictionary app instantly. Pro Settings: Jump straight to configuration to tweak your experience. ✍️ "Help Me Refine" for Writers

    Dictionariez isn't just for reading anymore. I've added a "Help Me Refine" button that appears when you select text in editable fields (like text areas or input boxes). Use it to polish your writing, check grammar, or find better vocabulary on the fly.

    📱 Optimized for Every Screen

    I have significantly improved the user interface for smaller screens, such as the MacBook Air and mobile devices:

    Responsive Bubble: The lookup bubble now positions itself intelligently to stay visible and accessible. Compact TTS & Translator: The Text-to-Speech player and Translator UI have been optimized to take up less space while remaining easy to use. Volume Control: Also fixed some sensitivity issue for smoother audio adjustment, it was very annoying :D. 🚀 Performance & Usability

    Under the hood, v7.0 is faster and smoother:

    Smart Caching: Recent lookups are cached, making repeated queries instant. Phrase Support: You can now look up phrases containing spaces and hyphens more accurately. Default Selection Lookup: Simply selecting text now triggers a lookup by default, saving you a click. Meta Key Highlighting: Hold the Meta (Command/Windows) key to instantly highlight words in color. 💎 Try AI Lookup Pro - 65% OFF!

    AI Lookup is a premium feature designed for serious learners, but I want everyone to experience the magic. That is why I have gifted 100 free AI lookups to all users! Give it a spin and see how it transforms your reading.

    🗣️ I Want Your Feedback

    AI Lookup is a brand-new frontier for me, and I am just getting started. I would love to hear from you:

    What other languages would you like me to support? What other AI-powered features would help your learning?

    Note: As with all AI technologies, results can sometimes be inaccurate or "hallucinate." Please always take the AI results with a pinch of salt.

    Update!

    Dictionariez v7.0 is available already on Firefox, and under Review on Edge and Chrome. Update your extension to experience the future of dictionary lookups!

    Happy Learning!

  • SidePal: Your Language and AI Ally in Side Panel

    I recently took a detour to develop an intriguing tool for Chrome's side panel, which is an impressive new feature in Chrome that I believe many people will find it quite useful. In some cases, it could even be more straightforward and convenient compared to Dictionariez, which uses a popup window to display results. SidePal is designed to work seamlessly within the side panel, showing dictionaries that integrate perfectly with this feature.

    Here is how it looks.

    It's works well with Google Translate too.

    Isn't it handy to have ChatGPT on the sideline ready to answer any questions from you?

    Unfortunately, not all web dictionaries work in the side panel because they need to be embedded in an iframe, and some websites don't allow this. For example, my favorite dictionary, Longman English, doesn’t support iframe embedding.

    You can still try adding more dictionaries to your collection from this site, just as you would with Dictionariez. If you receive a warning that the dictionary couldn’t be loaded, it means it’s not supported on SidePal, so I recommend using Dictionariez instead.

    In this sense, SidePal is a lighter version of Dictionariez. It has its own advantages and can be used alongside Dictionariez. I hope you find it useful.
