Comment on Show HN: Text editor with inline English-German dictionary

Comments

Neat! Two issues I found:

1) if I type @being I get zero options, even though it's in the dict https://www.wikdict.com/de-en/being . I only get options for expanding @be

2) I can't expand @be/being into a noun ('Beings surrounded our ship'), only into a verb/gerund ('Being John Malkovich')

That is something which could be addressed by stemming or lemmatizing the input before piping it into whatever you use for translation.

That's something I will have to look into. Thank you for the suggestions.
