Scratch would need to use google translate. We all know how good that is, especially with Irish in my experience.. It's so easy to tell when someone uses google translate with that.

Just for that alone, NO!

Maybe we could make a dictionary in languages we know and put them into a studio for others to use (if we want people to).

Yes, we could have a project with a dictionary Sprite in it for people to backpack, but that'll take ages, and if this was added new scratchers will use it without searching for the project. maybe you could make a project with a dictionary Sprite for scratchers to use.

But you seem to still be a new scratcher and that would take a lot of work

Overall, I think the ST would like to keep the Google Translate there for now. That was enough data and languages.

Ion line dictionaries have heaps more data, and what. I really like the google translate extension

Gaha, keyboard playing up, hard to type

Actually, online dictionaries have 99% of their data as a dictionary, you know!

But scratch has more data, because it does more, and can people stop posting about it taking up too much data, it has been posted enough times already.

Yeah, and it only has not as much data as it had once before. Google Translate was enough. I don't think Scratch wants to take up an extension with the Oxford dictionary of 171,476 words in current use, 47,156 obsolete words, and 9,500 derivative words included as subentries.

The total number of words you said are in the Oxford dictionary is 228,132 words. The average length of an English word is 5.1 letters. Not including the definitions, all those words together would only take up about a single megabyte. Including the definitions would at most take up only a few more megabytes. On the other hand, a project's maximum size is 60 megabytes.

A built-in-dictionary would not take up much data at all.

I definetely support this, although i dont think i would ever use it.

I think if this were to be used, it should be similar to lists.
Suggestions:

(definition of [hello] :: #50aa90)
<dictionary contains [hello] :: #50aa90>
(item (10) of dictionary :: #50aa90)
(synonyms for [hello] :: #50aa90)
([random/first/last v] synonym for [hello] :: #50aa90)
([past/present/future v] tense for [hello] :: #50aa90)

and maybe a few more.

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking, but I do mean right away on the launch, I mean some later time, maybe after launch.

Not all words have tense, but a workaround would be to display the original word if the word does not have a tense. What order are synonyms in, how about, most common synonym for hello. Also, item 10 of dictionary might be:

(item (10) of dictionary In letters [a] :: #50aa90)

“A” could be replaced with the first letters of the word, and if your number is ten and there are only 3 words, then it would be the last word.

Plus:

Hide dictionary :: #50aa90

show dictionary :: #50aa91

Go to word (banana v) in dictionary :: #50aaa9

Extension data is not saved with the project. It is loaded with the GUI. Google translate isn't even on scratch servers. It uses an API to connect to the translate site.

Exactly. The dictionary doesn't have to be stored on Scratch's servers.

Then we have a lot of languages too…

They could just get dictionaries of the other languages. It would be much better than using google translate.

True, I think that would be better if the scratch team had enough time.
