Apologies if this answered in the readme but does this support other languages than English?

Hi! I actually forgot to mention this in the README, thank you for pointing it out.

The app would work for any language, but the definitions and exercises will be written in English. I created a list just now for German words and added the German word "Zeitreise". It generated this definition:

<<"Zeitreise" in a German mystery series means time travel. It refers to the act of a character or characters moving through time, either to the past or the future, often as a central element of the mystery's plot.>>

Exercises were asked in English.

"What does "Zeitreise" mean?":

- Time travel - Train journey - Long wait - Difficult puzzle

Maybe a feature where you can choose the language would be cool. I mean, someone might prefer to learn German using German, or say Spanish using Turkish.

Again, thank you for pointing it out. I will update the README and hopefully add inference language preference feature.

Abi, slick design!

A feature where it supports TR -> EN and vice versa would be amazing!
