Describe the solution you'd like

Would it be possible to develop a version of Saladict as Thunderbird addon ? As thunderbird is a very popular opensource mail client comes also from the Mozilla, just same as Firefox. The implementation of addons would be quite similar of Thunderbird and Firefox... It would be very helpful for thounds of thunderbird users while reading/composing emails in another language.

Describe alternatives you've considered
