Yes, as ericb100 points out, you can edit the dictionaries available to you — up to a certain point:
- LingQ has to have added them (to the “manage” section described by ericb100) — either by user request/because they felt it would be a good addition.
- You can add to/subtract from those available dictionaries in the “Manage” section under “View Dictionaries and Meanings” in any popup that comes up when you click on a selectable word in LingQ (page mode/sentence mode).
- Message LingQ via the Support & Feedback Forum/their email/@ zoran (who has been a very active and helpful member of the LingQ Team) with the new dictionary recommendations you have and the Language Pairs you’d like to see them for (ex., English → Arabic).
Important Note: Users can’t add new dictionaries (dictionaries that don’t appear in their “Manage” section) on their own. LingQ has to add them to show up in the “Manage” section, so a user can then add them to their selection of go-to dictionaries when they click on a particular word.
Additional Note: This can be done via mobile and desktop app/browser.
Edit: Screenshots of adding/subtracting your preferred dictionaries + reordering your dictionary lists on the Web Browser of your choice:
-
Click/select (on) any selectable word in your text (note: I chose a blue highlighted word for the below images).
-
Click Manage across from Dictionaries :
- You’ll see a list of your Preferred Dictionaries first (these are the dictionaries you select and order that show up under Dictionaries in the image for step 1 above):
- If you scroll down, you will see a List of All Resources (which are the list of available dictionaries to you and your language pair: ex., English and Korean in these images):
Note: Not 100% sure, but I think once you select one and it moves up into your Prefered dictionary list — it doesn’t show up in the All Resources section, but when you remove a dictionary from your Preferred list it pops back down into the All Resources List.
- By scrolling back up to your Preferred List and clicking on and dragging a resource/dictionary up and down on your list, you can change the order of your resources/dictionaries.
Note: I order from most used to least used, but you can do alphabetical or any other order you prefer. This will change the order of the dictionaries/resources listed under Dictionaries in the image for step 1 above.
- Be sure to click Done when you’re finished to save your changes:
