Look up a foreign language word

I bought the new M1 MacBook Pro recently, in my old MacBook when I select a foreign word let's say in German and right click and choose "look up" I use to get its translation in many languages but now I don't get any translation, instead the system will try to find a similar word in English to translate, although I added all the foreign languages that I need to the "language & region" and added many dictionary also, thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

By that do you meant that you went to the Dictionary app > Preferences and made sure the boxes are checked for the languages you want? That should normally do the trick.
