definition inline option not available in edge

Hi there,

I would recommend you to "use the search the web for..." feature to find the definition of the word/phrase which you can use by right-clicking the selected phrase and use the "use the search the web for..." option. You can also use the upcoming sidebar search feature which will search it in a bar on the right without opening a new tab to find the definition easily (Note: The sidebar search feature is still not yet available for the stable channel and will be coming in the few months.)

Lastly, if you want to use a third-party extension to see the meanings, I would recommend you the Grammarly extension which has this optional feature where you can double-click a word and find the meaning easily in a popup for that word

Hi Alok,

I found in the tech community that this in-line definition function will be resumed in Chrome-based Edge: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/new-feature-dictionary-added-to-pdf-reader-in-edge/m-p/2156982

By the way, do you know about some details of this function:

1. Will it resume the original interaction manner, i.e., display definition once the word is touched (on touch screen, or double-clicked to select a word).
2. Will it support language other than English?
3. If I'm not in the supporting regions (e.g. the Netherlands and China) how can I set up Edge to use this function?

Thanks in advance!
