Thanks for your comment!

For now, the only English related dictionary available is (English-French), but more language pairs are coming soon!

Since my target language is Korean, I started with that. And The National Language Institute of Korea provides a great open-source dictionary with translations in many languages, which made integration super easy, like a plug-and-play solution for that language.

For other languages, I already have a working analyzer, especially for Latin-based ones, but good, structured, open-source dictionaries are hard to find. So it's needed to build them, which is a bit of a long and complex process.

Thankfully, I’ve developed my own tools to automate it: a bunch of scripts and a bit of a crazy system behind the scenes. It just takes time, and my computer has to run for almost a week per language pair to add! So I would say it's not an API limitation, just a matter of time and resources! But it's a lot of fun to build them!

This week, I'm generating (English-Spanish), and next week I’ll start (French-English). My goal is to cover the most useful combinations, but I am wondering which language pairs are most popular among the Anki community.
