Not a feature request per si, but maybe a suggestion for another extension, maybe even another project, so take this as a dicussion rather than a feature request.

Improvement suggestion
Make context.reviews not hardly tied to the japanese language.

Why?
So, life is crazy and changes all the time, as such as our interests and immediate plans. Due to this, I had to put a break on my japanese studies, for now, at least. However, I need/want to learn german, and I loved my time using context.reviews to learn through quotes, lyrics, subtitles and such. I was wondering if it could be possible to make it work with other languages, like german, french, spanish and so on by setting the 'language' of the phrase and integrating theirs dictionary's APIs...

Use case:
I want to study german, so when I add a phrase, I would like to highlight certain words and learn their meaning from a german<->english dictionary, like context.reviews do through Jisho.

Hey, long time no see!

Sorry, I kept forgetting to respond here.

I like the suggestion, I also was considering learning German someday but hadn't looked into it, been really busy and I'm still super focused on reading Japanese LNs!

I would like to do this someday, though I can't guarantee I'll get to it very soon! But for when I do, do you happen to know of a good German dictionary site with an API?

So, I did some research and I found that Oxford have it's own german<->english API. I don't know if it is as good and as easy to use as Jisho, but... Well... It's a start.
