Research direction

The payload names no files, tests or entry points, so start by finding where translation lookups currently happen in the C++ codebase and whether they depend on a network call. The main open question is the design: which dictionary source and file format to use, how it is downloaded and stored, and how lookups fall back to it. Done means a translation can be looked up with the network disconnected. Expect to discuss the design with the maintainer before writing code.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

feature

Allow translations without a network connection, for example from downloadable Wiktionary-based dictionaries.
