This syntax
is compatible. It works with Mobipocket Creator and the current Kindlegen version. For example, you could use the following syntax:
Code:
<idx:entry name="japanese" scriptable="yes">
<idx:orth>猫<idx:infl><idx:iform value="貓"/><idx:iform value="ねこ"/><idx:iform value="ネコ"/></idx:infl></idx:orth><br/>
chat (m)
</idx:entry>
I've sucessfully tested it with a mini dictionary and a Japanese test file that only contained the characters 猫 and 車 (and their Kana equivalents).
The tricky part is selecting multiple consecutive characters. I wasn't able to do this with my PW2 even when the GUI was changed to Japanese.
For testing purposes, I inserted regular spaces between Kanji and Kana characters and when I selected one of the Kana equivalents the correct headword was displayed.
For more information on the dictionary syntax also see the
Kindle Publishing Guidelines, which describes the dictionary syntax in detail.
Just out of curiosity, do Japanese ebooks contain invisible delimiters (ZWNJ etc.) between lexical units? If so which ones?
