To include any options like Google API when using Language set to English UK

Describe the feature

Presently, language set to English (UK) results in no selectable Synonym Provider. Unsure if intended missing feature or overlooked bug. Also, presently Synonym Provider Free Dictionary API for English (US) appears to be inconsistent re showing hover over synonyms as well.

Simple solution was to switch Language to English (US) and Synonym Provider to Google, at which point plugin features are snappy and responsive, and I'm happy enough with this.

I waste a LOT of my time going down rabbit holes using browsers for synonyms or using third party apps like Artha (based on Wordnet and pretty good), so this is a very helpful feature set to have access to and I very much appreciate it all.

I would also be happy to download an offline third party dictionary & thesaurus even if it was a couple of hundred MB.

Thank you.

Does this fix a problem? If so, specify.

Did you consider other alternatives?

Switched to English US instead
