歐博思 Posted January 10, 2019 at 01:37 AM Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 at 01:37 AM Would like to use some of these example sentences (in blue) from GF and LAC as flashcards, but these particular example sentences don't have a "+" to do so like other dictionaries. Just searched another word randomly “逸”. There are no "+" with these example sentences either. Is this a peculiarity with the GF dictionary example sentences? Do I have some option left unchecked somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agewisdom Posted January 10, 2019 at 06:52 AM Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 at 06:52 AM It would be better if you posted this on the Pleco forums itself but the creator, Mike Love does drop by this forum regularly as well. https://www.plecoforums.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelove Posted January 10, 2019 at 04:21 PM Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 at 04:21 PM We don't offer a flashcard button for those because they don't have any English translations and so you'd have to fill in pretty much the whole thing yourself. But if you highlight the whole sentence (tap on the first character and long-press the |-> button to expand the selection to the whole thing) and then tap on the + button, it should offer to create a custom flashcard and let you fill in your own English on that screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members Booshack Posted April 14, 2019 at 06:02 PM New Members Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 at 06:02 PM I don't have + button next to example sentences at all.. How do you get this? I would love to be able to create a flashcard from a sampler sentence with a single click! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlo Posted April 15, 2019 at 12:50 AM Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 at 12:50 AM I'm also very interested in creating flashcards with example sentences from the Cantonese dictionary ABY. Something strange happens with the jyutping though: pronunciation gets converted into... Korean script. Any idea why this is happening? This is an example sentence from the entry 拖板 and created with the + method above: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelove Posted April 15, 2019 at 01:27 AM Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 at 01:27 AM Ah, that’s a bug - will investigate for our next update, thanks. As a temporary workaround, if you go into Organize Cards, navigate to the category with your examples, tap Edit, Batch, and tap “Add Cantonese Readings” (and check “overwrite existing” before you do), that should give you usable Cantonese readings for those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you make the + icon for those sentences make cloze deletion sentence flashcards instead of Chinese ↔ English flashcards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelove Posted April 16, 2019 at 01:47 AM Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 at 01:47 AM We don’t currently support cloze flashcards within Pleco - if you’re on Android you can add examples to your AnkiDroid database as clozes, though. We are adding cloze support in our 4.0 update, but it’s tied to the word rather than the sentence - in the current design, you can specifically link a sentence to a word or have the system randomly pick an example (from a pool you’ve made or from all available examples).
