Use offline dictionary files
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Offline dictionary files are not supported.
Describe the solution you'd like
Support offline dictionary files, at least TSV.
Additional context
There is a repository for creating TSV dictionaries: https://codeberg.org/GrimPixel/Dictionary_Tools
Related to #5 and #6 .
This would also have to include:
- how to (generate?) and install the dictionaries
- how to map terms to the dictionaries
- documentation
My thoughts: place dictionary files in a directory, the program will then read them. Some plug-ins can generate non-lemmas from the lemma; the term can be searched in both the lemma and non-lemma parts; or guess the lemma from a non-lemma and search it in the dictionary.
Yes, of course :-) Cheers! I was only listing some other things that would need to be thought about for this.
This is a good idea, it's exactly what I need sometimes. I have a Mac and so would like to use the built-in Mac dictionary. Thanks GP 👋

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm coming from trying out LWT which seems like it's not under active development and a bit dated at this point. I didn't like that to add terms, it basically created a popup to a dictionary and you'd have to manually enter the translation.
Describe the solution you'd like Freedict (https://freedict.org/downloads/) has a number of free offline dictionaries that could be used for prepopulation if there is an issue finding a free dictionary API (maybe there is one, I don't know).
Describe alternatives you've considered Typing everything in manually becomes cumbersome. I could cobble together my vocab plus some A1+A2 basic word lists for import via CSV but it would take a long time and is overwhelming.
