Change the dictionary

Readlang allows you to use online dictionary in the sidebar, provided that the word to translate appears in the URL.

  1. Enter the Settings page:

  1. Enter the URL of the dictionary you’d prefer, using {{query}} in place of the word to translate:

  1. Click Preview to check that it looks OK.

  2. If satisfied, click Use this Dictionary.

Your chosen dictionary will now be available in the reader page sidebar.

NOTE: unfortunately, since I originally added this feature, many online dictionaries have tightened their security settings to prevent them from being embedded within other websites. In this case, it will still be possible to use them by clicking the “Open in new window” button in the Dictionary tab of the reader page sidebar.
