msgid "Preferred format order"    # the English text
msgstr "首选格式顺序"                  # the translation text, in this case, Chinese text

I didn't know there are this many messages in the plugin. I didn't have chance to see most of them.
I edited zh_CN.po file with Poedit to make Korean translation. It is my first time using Poedit, so I am not sure if I did it alright.
There may be some wrong translations because I didn't know the context.

Thank you every much for your contribution! I added the translation file in this commit: https://github.com/xxyzz/WordDumb/co...76eb0c6822680c

I too, used Poedit to make a French translation:

Thanks! I changed the filename to "fr.po": https://github.com/xxyzz/WordDumb/co...29fdd63727dd3d

So both "fr" and "fr_CA" calibre interface language will use this translation once this pull request got merged: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/pull/1733

Hi xxyzz,
I'm trying to use worddumb to make English epubs more readable for me , an ESL learner.
The odd thing is I can only make en-to-en translations in the calibre software, which I recently began to use, as the thing I want is an en-to-cn translation.
I have gone through the user manual and video but didn't find a solution.

Many thanks.

I have made some changes to the wikitextprocessor and Wiktextract code to parse the Chinese Wiktionary dump file. Even though some data in some pages can't be extracted for now(IPA and forms) I think it's usable for the plugin.

Sorry I didn't make my point clear. I would like to know how to change the translated language from English to Chinese. Do I have to do some coding thing other than having a click button or a drop-down menu in the plugin preference? I noticed the "libmobi" page in github, but I don't have a linux system. Do I have an alternation to create a kindle-style word wise feature in epub files on Windows system?

Please read my comment at the top of this page: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...&postcount=481

If you're interested in parsing non-English Wiktionary dump file, check out the links at the bottom of that comment.

I corrected these misspells on github (hopefully followed the correct process - I am not too familiar with github).

I followed your instructions and created a Wordwise database in french from the "Oxford Hachette English - French Dictionary".

After struggling to install libmobi on an Ubuntu Virtual machine It somewhat works!! Thanks!

One shortcoming of this code is some words might not included in the dictionary, that's why you still see some short glosses in English. All these Oxford dictionary files have the same XML structure, so the code can parse all of them. But this will become another disadvantage when Amazon change the XML.

Parsing non-English Wiktionary surely would help a lot but the wikitextprocessor and Wiktextract code are not very easy to modify(thousands lines of nested functions and tons of hard coding strings).

[xxyzz]

I have created two pull requests to enable wiktextract to parse non-English Wiktionary dump files:

• https://github.com/tatuylonen/wikitextprocessor/pull/13
• https://github.com/tatuylonen/wiktextract/pull/158

The maintainers haven't give any response yet... With these changes, the Chinese Wiktionary dump file can be parsed. For other languages, some data files need to be created first(those JSON files in the "data" folder in each projects).

All tests passed for both projects, but a lot of work is needed to fully support each new language.

Chinese Wiktionary glosses for EPUB Word wise are supported, please download the test plugin zip file from GitHub Actions to test it: https://github.com/xxyzz/WordDumb/ac...uns/3111428012.

I also upload the processed Chinese Wiktionary JSON files at here: https://github.com/xxyzz/wiktextract...uns/3109743850

Does the fandomwiki feature working? Because my X-Ray Pop-Up are just mentions about the Characters but no fandom wiki. Even after i added custom fandom url like :https://lotr.fandom.com/
