Characters with multiple readings

[pcdi]

For characters with multiple readings (多音字), only one of the readings is shown.

Example: 语 will be shown only as yù “to tell to”, and not as yǔ “dialect / language / speech”.

However, there is no problem, if the simplified character in question has two different traditional ones, such as 发, which will be correctly shown as fā 發 and fà 髮.

Thanks for the example! Will look into it when I have time.

This should be fixed in version 2.1.4.

I am sorry to reopen this issue, but I noticed that the behavior is still not as expected. The entry for the character 华, for example, shows only two definitions:

• [hua1] /old variant of 花[hua1]/flower/
• [hua2] /magnificent/splendid/flowery/

Whereas the CC–CEDICT contains six definitions, including variants.

Hey @pcdi ,
Thanks for the notification. It seems you are correct. Firefox reverted my 2.1.4 to 2.1.3 some time ago. I will have to look into it and resubmit it after making a few changes. Will try to do it somewhere this month.

@pcdi I've updated the addon. Thanks for pointing out the problem, and giving a helpful example.

Now, you should see 4 entries for 华. The CC-CEDIT shows 6, but 2 of them are variations. I can't support that right now (I would need a lot more time to).

Closing this issue. Please re-open if you think it's not sufficient yet, or open another issue if there are other problems. Cheers.
