About

This widget is a English/French/Spanish dictionary with translation. It is using data from https://www.wiktionary.org/ under both the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). The dictionary provided in this widget contains over 30,000 English words, over 25,000 French words and over 7,000 Spanish words with definitions and translations between these three languages. Note that the dataset is not perfect and some definitions and translations may be incorrect or have typos. Feel free to reach out directly to report major definition or spelling errors. Please note that too many searches in a row without closing the app may cause the app/watch to crash. This is because the connect iq virtual machine memory management system has an issue managing the memory over time. If the firmware changes and improves I will release new versions to help reduce issues with crashing over time. Some key features and notes: - Available words starting with letters entered show up below the entry. - The keyboard entry is tailored for each language. Already entered characters will be reset when switching between languages - There is a lot of data stored in this widget. It does take some time to load the data as characters are entered. A little "loading ..." overlay is showed when new blocks of words need to be loaded. It can take a few seconds to load new blocks and this is normal. It is best to refrain from tapping the screen during loading of new blocks of words as the taps will be registered all at once after the loading is complete. - The glance view displays the last word viewed for definition and translation The dictionary can be controlled fully by touch or fully with the buttons, which is convenient when touch mode is disabled, or a combination. Touch control: - Tap the group of letters for an accessible letter selection. Tap the side or outside the group to hide it back. - Tap the back arrow to remove a character from the search word. - Tap the language text to toggle between the three languages. Note that this will reset the search in progress - Tap any of the proposed words to access its definition and translation. A new screen will popup.

What's new

NOTE WHEN UPDATING: The widget is quite large at 10MB and most watches do not have enough space to update the app while installed (storage for apps is limited from ~15MB to ~20MB). If this is the case (you get a memory full when trying to update using the update feature), just un-install the app first and then re-install it. You will only lose the last search saved. V1.5: added Fenix 8 Pro and Venu 4 V1.4: added vivoactive 6 (settings only through connect IQ smartphone app) and FR970 V1.3: added Fenix 8 and Enduro 3 V1.2: added Venu3 and Epix2 V1.1: added support for Fenix 7 Pro line
