Feature request by a user:

Is it feasible to filter words chosen for translation by matching them against word type? 
For example I would love to use this extension to only translate nouns. 
That way I can avoid any terrible grammar mistakes by Google translate 
(don't even get me started on its inherent difficulty with correct Mandarin and Japanese!). 
Nouns are very safe to translate with high accuracy. Thanks! :D

This is a very nice idea, but hard to implement in an efficient way.

To figure out if a word is a noun, MindTheWord would have to query a dictionary for every word selected for translation, and it would have to wait for the response. This would make MindTheWord too slow.

One solution would be to have local dictionaries of nouns within MindTheWord's code, but I don't know where to obtain such dictionaries for all languages.
