Have you tried put "https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/api.php" in the plugin settings and what's the result?

Hi
I'm trying to add Word Wise to my ebooks and at the same time get them converted from epub to kepub to my device. The conversion is done automatically by Kobo Touch Extended plugin upon "Send to device".
Since WordDumb depends on its own function to upload the books, Send to device buttons is not used in that case.

How can I overcome that?

many thanks

Thanks man. I will try and let you know. Can I use it with another language e.g. German?
Many thanks

When using worddumb(or wordwise) on Kindle, even for the same word, hints may or may not appear depending on its position in the text. What criteria determine whether a hint is displayed? Is it possible to ensure that hints always appear for words within my specified difficulty range, regardless of their position?

German is supported as book language and definition language, more supported languages can be found in the plugin's customize words window and here https://xxyzz.github.io/WordDumb/

No idea how Kindle decides when to show a definition, only EPUB books can guarantee enabled words always display.

I have edited the kll.en.en.klld file to change the word wise hints to Korean. After updating to Kindle Scribe firmware 5.17.1, the Korean font that displays the word wise hints changed. The English font remains the same.
In the case of Paperwhite, there was no change in the word wise Korean font even after updating the firmware to the same version.
The Korean font that is currently displayed is very unreadable, so I want to revert the font to the previous one in recent firmware.
Currently I am using version 5.16.8(I jailbroke my Scribe using Winterbreak and downgraded firmware). The note taking function is improved very much in recent firmware(5.17.2 or 5.17.3). Could there be any way to change the internal fonts that is used to show the word wise hints?

If you already jailbreak, you probably have better chance with koreader... I think it can almost do whatever you want.

I have been using koreader since winterbreak released and my next ereader will very likely be kobo.

I use a Kindle because it supports Word Wise. I replace the short_definition part of the kll.en.en.klld file with my own Korean definitions to create a custom vocabulary list, so that Word Wise displays Korean meanings.
Thanks to your Worddumb, my English book reading has become much more comfortable. It doesn't seem like that's possible on KOReader.

KOReader can also display word hints embedded in the EPUB file using CSS styles, but it seems to lack support for word inflections and flexible database editing.

Starting from firmware 5.16.10.0.1, the Word Wise hint font for Korean has become strange on both the Scribe and Paperwhite. Until that issue is resolved, I plan to stay on 5.16.9.
