I just noticed that there is the option to disable the popover dictionary! Thank you very much for implementing this!

Sorry - I forgot to mention it.

Hello!

Here's some dictionaries you can use for Marathi (I have included %s as a search wildcard in the URLs). Example Marathi word to test the dictionaries with: घाम

https://www.khandbahale.com/language/marathi-dictionary-translation-meaning-of-%s

https://www.transliteral.org/dictionary/%s/word

https://www.shabdkosh.com/search-dictionary?lc=mr&sl=en&tl=mr&e=%s

https://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/app/marathi_query.py?qs=%s&searchhws=yes&matchtype=default

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%s#Marathi

They are all Mar -> Eng, except 2. Transliteral and UChicago search multiple dictionaries and may have only Mar -> Mar for some words.

Thank you!!

For Hindi, I recommend removing UChicago and Hindi-English.org. The former doesn't seem to pick up even basic Hindi words like प्यार or कसम. The latter doesn't seem to be working at all.

I recommend adding these for Hindi (%s used as a search wildcard):

https://www.boltidictionary.com/en/search?s=%s

https://dict.hinkhoj.com/shabdkhoj.php?word=%s

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%s#Hindi

Note that for Spanish, I use the Wordreference dictionary, which is the best and cleanest Esp -> Eng one in my opinion. However, the search URL used for it could use some tweaking, because right now if it finds a word that also exists in English, it shows Eng -> Esp definitions instead of Esp -> Eng. You can test this with the word 'halo' in Spanish.

This is the URL I used in a previous app: https://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=%s

For Japanese, I recommend switching from Jisho to JPDB.io (https://jpdb.io), which has the same dictionary as Jisho, but offers more learner-relevant information per word, such as pitch accents, example sentences, and so on.

For Urdu, you can use Rekhta and Wiktionary:

https://rekhtadictionary.com/search?keyword=%s

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%s#Urdu
