HELP: more dictionaries are needed!

river

Dictionariez is a universal tool to learn any languages. As our community is growing, more and more dictionaries are needed in our trove, or maybe not just dictionaries, any site you think is useful could be added here. Such as Wikipedia or Bing image search. Please help me add more.

How to add more dictionaries?

Two ways to add a website:

First, for development and testing, try by code.
Second, add a topic here on pnlpal, so that it will benefit others like you.

By code

At the settings page, open chrome's devtool, use function like this:

addExtraDict(
    {
        dictName: 'Google Search', 
        windowUrl: 'https://www.google.com/search?q=<word>', 
        css: '#searchform,#top_nav {display: none;}'
    }
)

The css code is optional to make the target website more adapted to this app.

Then the new dictionary "Google Search" will appear as the last item of the dictionaries list.
Click it to open and try.

By pnlpal

This is the way.
Add a topic in Dictionariez Trove, put the json code in the topic content, and use one or more tags to classify the dictionary.

I found new dictionaries sites. I'll share these below.

Nisanyan Dictionary (Nişanyan Sözlük): https://www.nisanyansozluk.com/?k={searchTerms}
What's Dictionary (Nedir Sözlük): https://nedir-sozluk.com/ara/{searchTerms}
NOT: This is alternative search URL. This URL is https://nedir-sozluk.com/anlami/{searchTerms{ | }{ |-}}-ne-demek. If you search compound word thas has 2 and more word this URL gives error. For example “muhabbet kuşu” means that budgerigar in Turkish. You need to use dash (-) instead of space between words. https://nedir-sozluk.com/anlami/muhabbet kuşu-ne-demek gives error but https://nedir-sozluk.com/anlami/muhabbet-kuşu-ne-demek works successfully.
What's, What Means Dictionary (Nedir Ne Demek Sözlük): https://www.nedirnedemek.com/{searchTerms{ | }{ |-}}-ne-demek
NOT: You need to use dash (-) instead of space between words like What's Dictionary. https://www.nedirnedemek.com/muhabbet kuşu-ne-demek gives error but https://www.nedirnedemek.com/muhabbet-kuşu-ne-demek works successfully.

It's all done, pal.

Hello! I tired to add korean russian dictionary but couldn't add any hashtags to post it((

addExtraDict(
{
dictName: 'Korean Russian',
windowUrl: 'https://dict.naver.com/rukodict/russian/#/search?query=%%SS',
css: '#searchform,#top_nav {display: none;}'
}
)

This site - https://dict.naver.com/rukodict/russian/#/main

Thanks!

river

Sure. Done here: https://pnlpal.dev/topic/161/naver-dict-korean-russian/

As for tags, you could choose the already existed ones, or create by yourself.

Also the function addExtraDict only exists in settings page of Dictionariez. Here to add a Topic, it should be in the format of JSON.

Anyway, thanks. I am looking forward to more feedback from you.

I found new dictionaries sites. I'll share these below.

Dil Derneği (means “Language Association”): This dictionary's homepage is http://www.dildernegi.org.tr/TR,274/turkce-sozluk-ara-bul.html. But I don't find search engine URL
Kelimeler.gen.tr (means “Words.gen.tr”): https://kelimeler.gen.tr/sozlukte-ara?q={searchTerms}
Nedir Ara (means “What is it? Search”): https://nedirara.com/{searchTerms}
TürkçeSözlük.net (means “TurkishDictionary.net”): https://www.turkcesozluk.net/index.php?word={searchTerms}&sozluk=turkce

river

Sure, I'll add them later

river

Yeah, you are right. http://www.dildernegi.org.tr/TR,274/turkce-sozluk-ara-bul.html is a dynamic website, means the query result is triggered by code without changing the URL. It's not common. But I think I have to figure out a way to support this kind of sites.

The others are added now. Though some sites like "TurkishDictionary.net" or "Glosbe" have a whole bunch of dictionaries that I also need to figure out a way to support them all.

Thanks.

Hi River,
thank you for the very serviceable work you are doing. I'm Daniele, an Italian guy working on multilingual projects. I do not know whether this is the best place to make a request, nonetheless, here are the best dictionaries as far as Italian, German and Spanish are concerned. Could you please add them to your list? I wish you all the best for your language learning! 加油! Thanks!

https://www.rae.es/
www.duden.de
https://www.treccani.it/

Hi River, almost forgot, I am trying to use your extension within www.overleaf.com and I think there is some issue, i.e. the option of looking it up doesn't work. Or maybe I am so new to the extension that I am not able to activate it.

river

Hi, thanks for your feedback.
All functions seem OK on overleaf, see:
alt text
Could you tell me more specifically?
Also, rae.es is already listed here:
https://pnlpal.dev/topic/56/el-diccionario-spanish
You can add it into your collection.
The other two I will add later. Thanks.

Hi River,

thank you for the swift reply.

Actually you are right, on the right side (the pdf rendering of the text on the left) the dictionaries work properly.

I was trying to make it work on the left in order to be able to look up words using the comment feature of overleaf, thus looking up words absent from the actual text, but pertaining to the original.

Now I see that even there, right-clicking on a word it does open a Firefox menu, only, the word is not copied there (I do not know if it is meant to be) and searched, the search window is empty.

However, to do so I can go to a tab where I have a dictionary open!

Another very good German dictionary is: https://www.dwds.de

Thank you for the good work,
Daniele

river

Now I see the issue, you are right about this. I'll look into it. Thanks.

river

Hi, sorry for the delay.
Finally all those dicts have been added in dictionariez-trove.
Please help me review them, see if they suit your purpose?
Thank you.

earendil1

Hi River,
my turn to apologise. I could look into it only today. All dictionaries work fine in the fairy dict. I will get back as soon as I can do more testing. Thanks a lot! Good work!
Daniele

river

Great. Thank you.

river

On Firefox, I just can't get the user selected text by code in an editable element, like an ACE editor. It seems a bug of Firefox.

But on Chrome, it all works fine. You can get the selected text of the editor of overleaf.com.

I'll tell you if I find a solution.
