This is pretty neat.

The biggest issue I see, is that the AI query doesn’t include what language you’re studying. So if you ask for examples of a word in another language which happens to also be a word in English, you get English examples. Or something else… I tried checking “han” (for Spanish) and got Danish examples. (Using OR key with Gemini Flash 2.5)

I guess that exposing the query text in the settings dialog would not just allow the user to (manually) fix that issue, but could open up other uses of the extension, too, such as asking the AI for a same-language definition of the word, or something. (That would probably allow you to cheat on the flashcard, but at least you’re forced to read the definition in the other language.)
