Online dictionaries for integration

If you touch a word in Bookmaster and select "Define" then you get a dictionary
look-up. Here you can also select "Search Web". That will activate the browser to do a Google lookup. Fine!

If there was a user defined option there to specify another user defined look-up that would be very nice.

Let me illustrate with an example. I subscribe to an online dictionary ordbogen.com

Say you want to know the meaning of "horse" then you can send this to a browser:

http://www.ordbogen.com/opslag.php?word=horse&dict=auto

It could be generalized in Bookmaster as (example) an option

http://www.ordbogen.com/opslag.php?word=%s&dict=auto

In the bottom of the look-up window you could have three options.

Manage Search Web Search Google


Where Search Web is user defined.

I hope I have made myself clear
Yes, you have made yourself very clear!

Just checked that iOS 9 has no built-in English-Danish or Danish-Danish dictionary, and your strong desire of an online dictionary makes more sense to me now, as you told us earlier that you are Danish.

Yes, we are interested in doing a good job of integrating multiple online dictionaries with BookMaster. But we need everyone's help to tell us about his/her favorite online dictionary website(s), and which language to which language lookup you are most interested in.

Thanks in anticipation!
