I guess you mean enable Word Wise on non-English books, right?

It's possible.

First change the book medate: For MOBI and AZW3 books, the locale MOBI header need to be "9" and the language EXTH header set to "en".

Then create the word wise db file, this requires mapping the new language words to English words. I could get the translation data from Wiktionary.

There is one minor drawback, the default fonts would be English fonts. I guess you can get around this with custom font.

Here is a demo screenshot of a Chinese book:
