QuickDic has a Hindi-English dictionary. Can we please have a Hindi dictionary too? (i.e. with definitions displayed in Hindi.)

The only place I could get definitions in Hindi from is hi.wiktionary.org.
Unfortunately, that would mean implementing parsing for their XML data set (https://dumps.wikimedia.org/hiwiktionary/latest/).
From experience with e.g. the Spanish one, that is just an impossible task without being able to read the language.
So I'm afraid that will only happen if someone speaking the language volunteers to work on it.
