Description

Steps to reproduce

Go to the wikipedia page for "Hola"
Long press the title to highlight
Click the 3 dots on the popup
Press the define button

Expected results

The English-Language definition for "hola" to appear in the wikitionary popup

Actual results

Popup states that no definition could be found. From looking at a debugger, the app is trying to pull the definition for "Hola", which only has an English-language definition for a word in the language Atayal, causing the wikitionary dialog in the wikipedia app to skip it.
