Basic question about tooltips

1 New Member
I'm a novice when it comes to HTML, and maybe this isn't the right place to ask this. If so, I'm sorry.

I have a novel I want to use to practice my Spanish, reading it in my browser, and I want to have a tooltip appear with translation for difficult words, by making them into a false link.
I know there's excellent dictionaries available online, but I want to use this method as well.

The problem is that there's a couple of thousand words I want to add this property to, and I can't figure out how to do it in a practical way.
Maybe a script is the only way?
