GoldenDict Forum

Sometimes very useful way of translating some phrases not present in dictionaries (e.g. names of organizations or some specialist terms) is to search the term in Wikipedia and then select the language we are interested in to view the coresponding page in this language.

I don't know what Wikipedia API allows to do, but it would be great if GoldenDict could automate this process. I mean, one should be able to add something like, e.g. "Wikipedia English->Polish". After entering some English term it should display the corresponding page for this term from the Polish Wikipedia.

What do you think?

That was already planned to be implemented someday. Which day would that be -- don't know. Everyone's welcome to hack, though.

Great:). So i'm waiting patiently. Unfortunatelly I do not code, so cannot help:(

And by the way, thank you for this wonderful app!:)

Hello and Happy new year to everybody!!


Indeed, this kind of function would be really helpful. I use a lot Wikipedia to translate some difficult terms and the problem with Goldendict is that we can't see in which languages the current article is available. So is there any possibility to, at least, show this part too ? It would be great.

Thanks a lot for this great tool!
