Use other dictionaries instead of Wiktionary for word wise about worddumb

Support of new dictionary file format may not be very hard but extract short glosses from a dictionary requires some work.

For Kindle Word Wise, I use LemmInflect to inflect each lemma: code

For EPUB, the forms data from Wiktionary are used.

Got it. Thank you!

I agree with you that it might not be possible to extract short glosses from some of the dictionaries. But even without the glosses, it would already be a huge help if I can highlight the words that I want to learn in the books and have the word meanings available just a click away.

I agree with you it might be a better idea to rely on Wiktionary instead of other commercial dictionaries. It's more sustainable and expandable.

Wiktionary has much more potential to explore. Once I figure out how to use https://github.com/tatuylonen/wiktextract to extract non-English Wiktionary dump files, it'll be possible to have glosses in many languages.
