This is a front-end to WordReference.com online dictionaries with improved search, autocomplete, and navigation features.
To get started, please select a dictionary using the 'dict' query parameter (e.g. dict=enfr).
The following parameters are supported:
- A four-letter string consisting of two language codes (these options are available along with 'en' for English)
- One language code followed by 'conj' (e.g. 'frconj' for French conjugations)
The entire site is easily navigable using only the keyboard. The keyboard shortcuts are as follows:
- Enter: Focus on the search bar, search, swap languages (e.g. 'enfr' to 'fren') if search bar is empty
- Shift + Enter: Search for the first autocomplete suggestion, change dictionary if the search bar is empty
- Up & Down Arrows: Navigate between the search bar and autocomplete list
- Left & Right Arrows: Navigate between autocomplete suggestions
- Right Arrow: Focus on the first autocomplete suggestion if at the right edge of the search bar
- '1' to '9': While focused on the autocomplete list, search for the corresponding suggestion
If the search word is only found in the other language, the dictionary will automatically switch to that language. Double-clicking on any word in the dictionary page will search for that word.
Autocomplete suggestions are cached for faster loading times. The cache is cleared on page reload.
The entire site is contained within a single HTML file and is fully functional if opened locally.
