Is any Chinese learner missing PinYin?

I think there are four configurations a user might want:
(T = Transliteration)

  1. T above the text for all words and T in pop-up / widget
  2. Only blue / yellow words get T above the text and T in pop-up / widget
  3. No T above the text but T in pop-up / widget
  4. No T at all
    Currently, only use cases 2 and 4 are served, by setting it to “Pinyin” or “Off”. To my benefit, 4 was newly introduced. 1 and 3 seem to have been removed.

I tried a few other languages:
Chinese Simplified / Traditional / Cantonese:

  • Pinyin: T only above blue / yellow words and for all words in popup
    Japanese:
  • Romaji: T above all words and for all words in popup
  • Hiragana: T only above blue / yellow words and for all in popup
    Russian
  • T only above blue / yellow words, T for all words in the popup

Japanese Romaji appears to be an outlier.
