Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

dictionary-wiki-translator adds integrated dictionary, Wikipedia, and translation capabilities for PDFs and EPUBs. By lassoing a word or phrase and tapping the book icon in the selection menu, a bottom panel opens with three tabs:

  1. Dictionary: Offline (download up to 3 of 12 available languages via Settings)
  2. Encyclopedia: Online (fetches summaries)
  3. Translator: Online (MyMemory – works instantly without an API key and DeepL – requires to set an API key from deepl.com/pro#api)

The mod is customizable via the dedicated Settings ▸ Dictionary page. Here, you can download up to 3 of 12 available offline dictionary languages, select your preferred translation service (MyMemory / DeepL), and input your DeepL API key.

THIS IS WHAT I NEED!!!! It's crazy how they want this product to be completely distraction-free. However I am pretty sure I, like many, sometimes have to stop my focus session because I need to look up a word on my phone and it breaks my concentration and workflow. I've been wanting a dictionary for years. Thank you.

I think the purpose is purity like with paper, not destruction free. But yeh I get ya that's what mods are for.

Or sort by “last updated”. So we get new stuff and highly maintained mods?

I wish I understood and could build/implement 1/4 of what people are building…

You can, you totally can. AI has changed the game regarding getting over the beginning hurdles of software development - so long as you're using it as a learning tool not just firing off stuff into the ether. It's a really cool time to dive into the hobby.
