Possibility to add own (private) example sentences with their translation

[andrejrenard]

I am using Aedict when reading Japanese texts from external sources (for example NHK Easy Japanese, Japanese Reader, Wikipedia...). It would be nice to be able to copy/paste some sentences in Aedic, and to input their translation, in such a way all Aedict features would also apply to them (search, analysis and notepad). This should be a private database to respect the copyrights.

Hi, this is a good idea. To input the example sentence you would need to input three fields: the version with kanjis, the version with no kanjis (kana reading only) and the translation. You can input those sentences one by one directly in Aedict, but I imagine that you already have a private database in, say, an Excel sheet, of those sentences. So perhaps it would be better if Aedict would support to mass-add those example sentences. What do you think?

Hi martinLet's just start with a simple saving of a sentence that has been copied in aedic to be analyzed.

I see. If I understand correctly, you would like to have an option to add the sentence currently being analyzed, to a custom list. That is possible.

1. I can maybe construct the reading, but I can't construct the translation automatically. So, the translation will be blank. Is this okay?
2. I can add the sentence in question to a notepad, instead of a completely new custom list. Is this sufficient?

I have solved this as follows: when the sentence analysis kicks in, a very first result entry will be an example sentence entry, containing the original sentence. You can do anything you wish with this entry - you can copy/paste it, add it to the notepad, export to Anki, etc. I think that this solution solves this issue, please let me know if this solution works for you. An example screenshot follows:

Hi Andre,
you can add the sentence two ways:

1. swipe the sentence to the left - new buttons will pop up to the
   right, just click the "Add to notepad" button.
2. You can long-click the sentence. After the sentence is selected, you
   can then select "Add to notepad" from the upper-right menu.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Best regards,
Martin
