Add Dictionary

In putting a library together for my son, I was wondering if I could add a Spanish, German, and Portuguese dictionary to the list of dictionaries when a word is highlighted and right-clicked in the reader. Right now it's only English.

there is no dictionary instead calibre looks up words online at dict.org.

AT some point it may be worthwhile to add a more comprehensive source, like wikitionary, but it's not high on my TODO list.
