  Great find. Also, if you delete the app once you've configured it, it still works. Does that mean the app really does nothing except give you the url for your browser? If that's not the case, how do you actually remove it for good?

  Thanks again OP.

    this is tap-dictionary, not tap-translate. and for tap-translate, I believe it's just the URL which has js working for translate.

  To save a bit of time, this is the link the app uses: http://iostranslate.appspot.com/tap-dictionary-iphone.html

    Applet:

    javascript:(function(){if(document.getElementById('__td_display')){return;};window.__td_id='fb3963062dcb4cf8eaa55dd81671c56863d6094e';window.__td_lang='en';window.__td_base='http://iostranslate.appspot.com/js/';var __td_d=document;var __td_s=__td_d.createElement('script');__td_s.setAttribute('src',__td_base+'wikt.js?x='+(Math.random()));__td_s.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');__td_d.body.appendChild(__td_s);})()

      Wait.., does it mean that while it's not free,we need to pay $10.49 to have this command being inserted in our bookmark? Just like that?

        As far as I can tell, unless the 'window.__td_id=…' bit is unique?

        Hmm works on my Mac, try copying and pasting the applet code into the address bar, (if on Chrome, you have to manually retype the 'javascript:' without quotes at the start).

  Way to go, thanks for sharing this! I use a (paper) dictionary a lot, this I had never seen!

  Don't forget that iOS5 introduced a built in dictionary with Safari. Just tap and hold a word, then select 'define'.

    Totally forgot about this.

    Agree that this is a good offer, but its kinda redundant as Apple introduced a brilliant tap-to-define dictionary into their last major iOS update (iOS 5).

  Do you have to start the applet each time you load a website? I seem to have to do that for it to work :s
