Can't parse a page / lookup words when there is video in another language
For Japanese.
Say you're on a YouTube video page but you don't want to mine the video, but instead, something from the comments or the description.
And the particular video you're watching is in English with Eng subs only, but there's something in Japanese you want in the desc.
For some reason you can't do that. Pressing shift just doesn't do anything. When you press the head icon to pop up the toolbar, you have to select the Target subs of the video, and it being an English video, you'll only have Eng subs. If you choose Eng subs, then you can do lookups for the whole page, but it will say "No dict" because it's set to English.
If it's a Japanese video with JP subs, then you can just choose the JP subs, then you can look up all the other JP stuff in the comments, desc, etc.

Bump for this
Not ideal but you can copy and paste it into the migaku clipboard in the meantime, that's what I do

I mean, parsing is language by language. This is a niche use-case
