[Suggestion] "Word wise" for Koreader - Page 2

All three of those are already supported, provided you preprocess the document with something like the aforementioned WiseCreator, adapted so that it outputs something KOReader can display (i.e., option A, B, and C, as well as D — directly after). I also expressed my opinion that footnotes (option A) would be preferable regardless of ruby support.

A bit of a tease since we won't bump the crengine submodule for another week, but see the screenshot for the new ruby support.

The visual effect was already fairly easily possible on current releases with some clever user style tweaks for a little while now, even using the ruby element, but this real support is better.

That will make KOReader compatible with ruby-using tools like https://github.com/xnohat/wordwisecreator without any adjustments, although I still think footnotes or marginal glosses would look better.

Any luck with wordwise feature as plugin, in Koreader?
Will help improve me comprehension & english.

Or please outline the process of preprocessing the book.
Book format.
Preprocessing software

FWIW you can try using “Translate current page” - it works really well, translate the whole page using Google Translate. You can even assign this action to a gesture / Quick Menu

Thanks. Though it will not help with vocabulary building.
Wordwise option would be totally worth-it, as a plugin on koreader.
