More Dictionaries

October 10, 2013

Readlang uses the great WordReference dictionaries where supported [1], and recently I’ve been adding some other dictionaries to fill in the gaps, namely:

Welsh (Cymraeg) - http://www.geiriadur.net (it’s about time I added this one, my mum’s native language!)
Dutch (Nederlands) - http://www.mijnwoordenboek.nl
Persian (فارسی) - http://www.farsi123.com
Korean (한국어) - http://dic.daum.net

Thanks to the users who suggested each of these!

Now some of these don’t fit neatly into the sidebar, so I’ve added an “Open in new window” button to the reader page, and an “Open Dictionary” button to the Web Reader to open the dictionary in a separate window instead. This offers more flexibility for you to arrange and resize the dictionary as you see fit:

If you have suggestions for dictionaries for other languages, or if you have better alternatives for any of the current ones, please leave a comment below.
