The Dictionary plugin adds a dictionary view to Obsidian, allowing you to look up words and their meanings in various languages. With this plugin, you can access definitions, synonyms, and phonetics for over 15 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and more. The dictionary is fully customizable, with options to set your default language, use offline support, and choose from a range of third-party APIs to find definitions. You can also translate the plugin into new languages or add new API support to expand its functionality.

The WordNet Dictionary plugin is a valuable addition to any Obsidian user's toolkit. With this plugin, you'll have access to a comprehensive lexical database of English terms developed by Princeton University. Simply invoke the WordNet dictionary through the command palette or ribbon button, type in your query, and browse through the options until you find the word that interests you. Once selected, the definition will be inserted into your current document or displayed in a notification window if you're in preview mode. This plugin is perfect for writers, researchers, and students looking to expand their vocabulary and improve their writing skills.

The Note Definitions plugin allows users to create and manage a personal dictionary within Obsidian by defining words and phrases across their notes. It enables users to store definitions in dedicated folders, with options to preview, add, and edit definitions via commands or context menus. Definitions can be structured in consolidated files with multiple entries or atomic files with single entries, offering flexibility in organizing content.

The Dictionary translator plugin allows users to quickly translate unfamiliar words or sentences while working in their Obsidian vault. It integrates with translation engines like Youdao and Baidu to provide definitions, links, and pronunciation files. Users can also save the translation audio to their vault or record their own pronunciation. This plugin is particularly helpful for creating vocabulary cards directly in notes, enabling seamless language learning and reference building within the knowledge management workflow.

The Obsidian Wordnik Definitions plugin allows users to seamlessly fetch and insert dictionary definitions, synonyms, and related word data into their notes. By leveraging the Wordnik API, users can retrieve data for a specified search term or the title of the current note. The plugin offers customization options, including templates for formatting extracted data and limiting the number of definitions displayed. This provides a convenient way to enhance notes with rich lexical information directly within the Obsidian workspace.

The Simsapa plugin integrates with Obsidian to provide powerful Pāli dictionary and sutta lookup features. It requires the Simsapa Dhamma Reader app to be running in the background, allowing users to search and retrieve definitions from Pāli dictionaries directly within Obsidian. By double-clicking a word in a note, users can instantly access its meaning, with results displayed in the sidebar or in a separate lookup window. This plugin enhances the reading and study experience for users interested in Pāli texts and Buddhist teachings, making it easier to reference and understand key terms.
