Combination words in Pleco

[Flickserve]

Hi,

 

Sorry if this is a simple answer to this

 

Just trying out pleco flashcards on android (on trial) and I am trying to enter a combination word. The word is 坏球  huài qiú, which means a broken shuttlecock (a term used in badminton). Even 坏羽毛球 doesn't work (but that is rarely used in speech)

 

I have to enter the two words manually and when I try to use 'convert to dict-based card', it says no dictionary entries.

 

So that means I cannot get the pinyin nor the audio on to the flashcard.

 

How can I get the pinyin and audio for the combination on the one card?

Go into Settings / Search Interface and set Unknown Word Handling to "Card" - that will add an option at the top of a list of breakdown search results to create a card out of your search term with the characters / Pinyin / (if you've enabled it) Cantonese pre-filled.

Incidentally, not in any way to discourage you from posting here, but Pleco also has its own dedicated forum: http://plecoforums.com/

 

Mike is pretty hot about replying to threads regarding his product on here, though.

Thanks Mike.

It wasn't so intuitive but I managed it in the end.

This is what I did (for anybody else on android pleco 3.2.2)

Settings>dictionary search>search screen (scroll down)> other options> unknown search>custom card

Will post future queries on the pleco forum
