I’m the creator of Ordböcker (and also Dictionariez, if you’re wondering why they look so similar). I made Ordböcker because I wanted to focus more on Swedish than English. For example, when I look up the word fart, I want the Swedish meaning to show up first. Swedish verbs change differently, so I also wanted it to find the root form of words—not all dictionary tools can do that. Ordböcker puts almost all the Swedish dictionaries I could find in one place. Learning Swedish is hard—especially if you’re shy like me and feel embarrassed talking with Swedish friends or colleagues. Reading news articles is even harder with so many unfamiliar words. That’s why I created Ordböcker — a free, open-source browser extension that makes learning Swedish easier and less overwhelming. What makes Ordböcker special is that you choose your dictionary sources. For example, my wife, an intermediate learner, uses svenska.se for Swedish–Swedish definitions. I’m a beginner and prefer Glosbe. It’s not perfect—some words might not show any results yet, and some conjugated forms still don’t work. But I’m still working on it, and I’m still learning Swedish too. Hope you’ll stick with me! If you try out Ordböcker, I’d love to hear what you think. Got suggestions, ideas, or something that’s not working? Your feedback helps me make it better for everyone learning Swedish!
