Future dictionary and linguistic features

[Amm1rr]

Context

Translate It already has parts of the original dictionary plan implemented through a different architecture, so the old blueprint should not be treated as a current implementation plan.

The remaining product/research question is whether to expand richer dictionary/linguistic behavior further, for example:

• richer definitions, examples, synonyms, and parts of speech;
• optional Bing-style dictionary lookup;
• caching for dictionary-oriented requests.

Decision to make

What dictionary experience should Translate It provide beyond the current implementation?

Any future work should fit the current single-provider/shared-display architecture rather than revive the obsolete HybridCoordinator/component plan.
