So far only via PRs on GitHub. I'll probably continue here in the next weeks - including Transifex.

Hi, nice update.

In the past I used sidudict but it has bug: I enabled too many dictionaries and sidudict starts reindexation each restart of app that leads to crash of app because of too long reindexation. So I want to ask: What will be with Wunderfitz if I add a huge amount of dictionaries? How do you  implement indexation?

Honestly, I haven't tested a huge amount of dictionaries - just because I don't speak that many languages and because I don't plan a big trip around the world or even Europe (yet). 

Theoretically, it shouldn't be a big issue, just because the indexing is done only once - when you import it. Wunderfitz generates a SQLite database (with FTS4 extension, see https://sqlite.org/fts3.html ) for each dictionary and this already includes all required indexes. Afterwards, only search queries are performed to the database. Moreover, at startup the app only checks which databases are there and opens an initial connection to each one of them so that the dictionary information can be displayed in the combo box and to be ready to be selected by the user. So the memory footprint should be limited to this connection and some metadata information. 

However, if you encounter an issue with a huge amount of dictionaries, please let me know and I'll try to fix the bug(s) which cause that.
