I don’t know if it’s a temporary bug, but if it’s an “improvement”, then please revert back because this isn’t one for me, or give users a choice in the reader settings. Thanks!
EDIT: actually, if I may make a suggestion: if it’s not a bug, then consider simply altering the CSS to make pinyin on known words visible only on hovering. It’s a tiny little change, and it gets everyone the best of both worlds: new learners are encouraged to learn characters and not just pinyin (which I assume is the purpose of this alteration of the reader), but they can still get access to the pinyin to refresh their memories much more conveniently than by having to click on the word. And if you still don’t think it’s a better idea, at least make your new change an option in the reader’s settings, please!
Thanks! Just a quick update: it’s actually gone only on words I haven’t manually moved to “known” (which is quite a lot of them), ie, those blue words I’ve left blue when I moved on to the next page. If I take a word from which the pinyin is missing, and I switch its status to 1,2,3 or 4, then I reload the page, the pinyin appears, then if I switch it to the “known” status, and then I reload the page, the pinyin stays.
thanks for the answer, but thats not the issue. I just want to check the pinyin sometimes, not to see them all the time on the text. The problem is on the translation tab on the top right side, it only shows the pinyin from the first character, not the rest.
I’m a beginner Chinese learner and just started LinkQ. As I start to mark more words as known I also would like a way to be able to easily double-check the pinyin from time to time - having an on hover option would be great!
(And yeah, why do multi-character words only show the pinyin of the first character in the right-side popup? Also, multi-word phrases only show the pinyin of the first word.)
i think it is very frustrating, because when you start studying here, it seems like you can always check the pinyin, so no need to add to your own translation box, but you realize only after youve created so many lingqs that you gotta do it all over and keep adding the pinyin on your own because the only answer lingq gives is “we will look into it”“we will check it”, just let people see the pinyin, is that such a secret that can`t be revealed once you mark the word as known? just let us see it, lets reveal them, let them out, free the pinyin.
@zeesc Go to Settings > Reader > Script Settings, and make sure to disable “Show for status 1-3 only”. Sounds like you have that option enabled at the moment.
No it doesnt sounds like it. this answer you just gave me shows much lingq is looking into the problem (not looking into it, obviously). It amazes me you dont know i`m not talking about the script reading, but about the item on the top right, just for a quick check on the pinyin, as others users here have mentioned. This is after we have marked the word as known. Obviously we dont want to see pinyin all the time.
@zeesc Glad to hear you’re amazed. I apologize, I missed your answer on the same question above. I asked our testers team to look into this on their end and figure out what’s going on.
