This is a useful tool, although I can't get definitions (I have to click through) as the languages I am wanting definitions for are not English.

To the developer: this Python script seems to pull definitions by language from the same Wiktionary API, so I think it can be done.

    two things pls:
    1. multilanguage support
    2. manual activation (via hotkey or popup icon)

    Edit:
    1. I just meant an option to search in other language wikipedias, f.e. in hu.wiktionary.org instead of en.wiktionary.org. Sorry if I wasn't clear.
    2. Yes. This addon is needed only in specific cases, not all the time. The only way to switch it off right now is to do it manually in the addons manager. That's not convinient.

    Wikimedia foundation does not provide API's to get definitions in languages other than English.
    for the second point are you thinking there should be a toggle saying only show definitions if the world is selected while holding a hot key down?

    lastly this was a hobby project I may not deliver these changes you can look for other extensions that suits your use cases.
