Actually this does work. However, I do not know how close the availabe word must be, and how exactly this closeness is defined. As a test I activated the German dictionary and long pressed "italien" in a French novel. The result was: Your search for "italien" did not match any words in the dictionary. The closest match was "Italienne." And then follows the German explanation.
Doing the same with "tarasconnaise" or "de" however results in "No definition found. Try another dictionary."
