Feedback: Set Dictionary Language per learning Language

[hiptothehop]

I am not the first to request this, and I’m sure I will not be the last, but it would be great if we could set the Dictionary Language per learning Language.

I have been learning Spanish for a few years here. I still use the English dictionary, because the Spanish one just gives me the new word itself as the definition, which doesn’t help if I don’t know the word.

I started learning Portuguese, but I think Spanish translations are much more functional than English ones, so I use that dictionary, but I have to remember to go to change the reader dictionary in settings from Englsih to Spanish before a load a lesson, so that all the default definitions are not loaded in English, and to change it back before I read in Spanish.

I know it probably isn’t a priority, so take it as one more vote for it. Other requests for the same in the past:

Dictionary Language (Settings)

It’s going to sound odd, but I need to learn German using my English knowledge (and dictionary) and I’m going to further enhance my English, but I would have [and like] to do that in Persian, which is my mother tongue. Don’t you think so that dictionary language can and should be adjusted separately for each language being learned? also while I’m learning German, and with Dictionary Language set to English, I can see a lot of non-English definitions messing up the pop-up dialog.

Default Dictionary Language Per Language

Bringing back this suggestion in case anything’s changed in 4 years and 8 months - any chance of our getting the option to set the default dictionary language separately for each language? For instance, I use LingQ every day to learn Spanish through English. But now I want to dabble in French through Spanish a bit. This means, every time I want to do some French, I have to go into settings, switch the dictionary, then switch it back. And I know a lot of other people learn a 3rd language through…

Learning language dependent choice of dictionary language

I am sorry if this is considered spamming and I do not know how easy this would be to implement, but I think it would be great to be able to choose which language to set as a predetermined dictionary language dependent on the language that you are learning on the moment. For instance, if I am reading a text in Spanish, German or English I would like the suggestions to be in Spanish, German and English respectively whereas if I am reading in Japanese or French I’d prefer the suggestions to be in…

Set default dictionary language per language

It would be nice to have more control over dictionary settings, such as setting it per language. I sometimes want the definitions to be in Japanese, but only in certain languages. Thank you.

Different 'dictionary languages' depending on the language being learned

Would it be possible to give people the option to select the ‘dictionary’ language on a language-to-language basis? I use English for most languages, but since my mother tongue is a Slavic language (Czech), learning Russian or Polish with English hints is ridiculous, as the Czech translations of the words are much more appropriate. It would be therefore nice to have the option to set the dictionary language for each language separately.

Thanks for the feedback. As mentioned before, that’s not in short term plans, but maybe one day.
