Cantofish

I also converted Firefox’s Cantofish (not my work) into Stardict so that both Cantofish and this dictionary can appear together in a pop up .

Use side by side with Cantofish because the Stardict file only has about 7000 entries.

Restart Stardict if you don’t see any popups at all.

Finally, thanks Eldon and Narrie for helping!
