TL;DR

This app, which is currently supported on Chrome and Firefox, helps facilitate your language learning by marking words in articles, looking up in various dictionaries, and exporting to Anki.

Just double click on a word you will see the definition shows up right on the position. This is the fastest way to look up. In this case the app has builtin dictionaries to support English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean (aka CJK), German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Russian and Tajik languages, I am happy to add more languages support if you are interested.
And click on the app's icon, a popup window will show to let you look up any words in tons of your favorite dictionaries. This way you can look more deeply on the words. And it just looks like a traditional dictionary app. It has autocompletion function, word history, keyboard shortcuts, real human pronunciation and many more. Some example dictionaries include Urban dictionary, Oxford, Cambridge, Longman, Thesaurus, Merrian webster, Collins and Wikipedia etc.

My goal is providing a universal tool to look up any word in any language, currently more dictionaries are needed, and more user reviews are wanted to improve its usability.
As you can see, I am a language learner, Chinese is my mother tongue, English and Japanese are what I am learning right now. I wish this small tool could help the others like me. So if you have any suggestion please tell me, I am glad to hear feedbacks.

Join me on Telegram & Discord to learn languages together. We would talk about linguistics, programming, and even have virtual meetings once for a while. Let's build this community together.

With the launch of pnlpal community, you can share your reading with pals all over the world now. No matter it's a news story, or a technical review, or even a youtube video. As long as it benefits our programming and language community, you could share it. Check it by yourself. Let's learn together, and grow together.

I used to be a freelancer, and have been employed for several years. But now I am jobless. This project started as a sideline for fun, now I want to see how far it could go. If you find it's useful, please consider to donate, a cup of coffee would be my greatest incentive.
Thank you.
