Chinese please.

Hi! I've added Chinese. However i couldn't find a dictionary for it yet, and it might need a custom font for Chinese characters. DeepL works with it as well. If it has issues, I will fix it soon.

Thank you so much. There is also Perapeara Dictionary Plug in for Firefox. Maybe can be exctracted.

Hi!

I'll release a v0.4 update tomorrow or after. It makes a lot of things more simpler, I would recommend to wait for it before you install it. After that update I'll work on Chinese dictionaries and issues. It will take 1-2 days. It will have two built-in dictionaries for Chinese: cc-cedict and wiktionary.

I'm onboarding my second cohort of beta applicants this week, I hope to have a public beta by the end of the quarter or so! I noticed a lot of signups from this post, I'll try to do another round of onboarding this month.

I would be delighted to beta test. I would want to work on my spoken Portuguese so I could interact more naturally with my Brazilian colleagues. I study French, German, Swedish, Mandarin, Japanese, Portuguese, Latin, dabbling in Polish, though it’s hard to find shows dubbed in Latin :). Someday will get to Russian and maybe learn Icelandic as a way of getting closer to the roots of English… but alas life is not forev…

If you apply for the beta, you should get an invite sometime this month :) or feel free to reach out to me directly ben [at] phrasing [dot] app
