Is it somehow possible to add a English/German German/English translation? Maybe by using local dictionary from ding? Or online dict.cc or wordreference.com or leo.org?
Hullo,
Great to see a plasmoid dictionary — just what I'm looking for :D
The only issue is that the API keys for M-W is missing. Is this a bug, and if not, how do I fix it myself?
Hello there.
Thanks for your downloading first. The thing is Merriam-Webster limited the usage of free api key not exceeding 1000 queries per day. I'm afraid the limitation is too "tight" so I just remove the default key.
Considering this plasmoid isn't very popular. I'll let you use M-W out-of-box in next minor version. aka 0.7.2
That's great, thanks :)
I just applied for a key anyway, so from my side it's not a biggie, but until it gets over 1000 users, it might be nice to have the key included.
You're right. :-)
I'll apply for a commercial API key for the sake of convenience if M-W could just let me insert a little piece of text ads instead of charging me fees.

... I found the answer on your GitHub Wiki. Still odd that you need to apply for a *developer* API key to be able to use it.
