Definitions in Japanese #504
Comments
Hi! I'm afraid it's not quite so simple to add other dictionaries, but I would love to do it. Do you know of a freely available J-J dictionary? |
I see, I tried reading the source code but couldn't figure it out lol. I can only think of this one: https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/ |
Yeah, unfortunately that's using デジタル大辞泉 which, as far as I know, isn't free. I have a long-term plan to support this, but it's pretty long term. |
I tried looking for one and it seems all are proprietary. However, perhaps maybe it would be best for the long term to make it easier to add dictionaries to then add a feature where users can import their own custom dictionary? |
It's been mentioned before, but the Japanese wiktionary is pretty extensive. However, it is definitely lacking when it comes to expressions. For example, 道草を食う doesn't have its own entry (it is listed without a definition under the idioms section of くう), while デジタル大辞泉 has an entry with definition. https://ja.wiktionary.org/wiki/くう I don't think it is available in an easily workable and parseable format, either. |
Hello, I would like to get the definitions of words in Japanese rather than English (or the other available options). What files in this repo handle the fetching of the definition? Since theres support for other language, I assume its rather feasible to do this so any pointers on how to achieve this would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
