Jockster Posted August 3, 2006 at 07:22 AM Report Posted August 3, 2006 at 07:22 AM First of all, a big thanks to Trevelyan & Co for their commendable efforts, Adsotrans is very cool and of great help to us learners. Then the question, just a small detail in Adso Vocab: would it be possible to let the user choose whether the tones are displayed as numbers instead of tone marks? The reason I'm asking is that I found it easy to export Adso Vocab lists to Declan's FlashCard program. The only problem is this program does not understand the tone marks. The second request is that there would be a space between each pinyin syllable, e.g. tou2 qiu2 instead of tou2qiu2. Would it be possible to implement these options? Perhaps they are already on your roadmap for Adso Vocab? Keep up the good work! Quote
trevelyan Posted August 4, 2006 at 02:25 PM Report Posted August 4, 2006 at 02:25 PM You're swimming upstream! Everyone else wants the tone marks! It should be possible to have users choose their display option for tones. Won't get to this for another week, but thanks for the suggestion. Quote
Jockster Posted August 7, 2006 at 08:17 AM Author Report Posted August 7, 2006 at 08:17 AM Thanks for the reply. If I were just going to print the lists then tone marks or numbers would not be an issue (I can't say I've noticed any difference in terms of memorizing them), this is just a technical problem. Any which way, I do like to have a space between each syllable, just a personal preference. Quote
Konglong Posted September 9, 2006 at 04:03 PM Report Posted September 9, 2006 at 04:03 PM I think the Wenlin Demo has this function. Switch from tones to numbers. Give that a try. www.wenlin.com Josh Quote
trevelyan Posted September 9, 2006 at 06:21 PM Report Posted September 9, 2006 at 06:21 PM Implemented.... just toggle the appropriate checkbox on the "edit/options" page for any wordlist. Quote
Taibei Posted September 10, 2006 at 02:04 AM Report Posted September 10, 2006 at 02:04 AM request ... a space between each pinyin syllable, e.g. tou2 qiu2 instead of tou2qiu2. Agh! Ugh! Ick! You'd be better off trying to overcome this unfortunate preference than asking that others mess up proper Pinyin (not "PinYin"). Quote
Jockster Posted September 18, 2006 at 10:15 AM Author Report Posted September 18, 2006 at 10:15 AM Don't overreact, Taibei. Take a deep breath...that's it, breathe As I stated in my first post, I wanted to export the adso vocab lists to Declan's Flashcard application, and that requires that superfluous space between syllables.

self-taught-mba Posted December 17, 2006 at 06:20 PM Report Posted December 17, 2006 at 06:20 PM proper Pinyin (not "PinYin"). wouldn't that be pin1yin1 Quote
imron Posted December 18, 2006 at 07:09 AM Report Posted December 18, 2006 at 07:09 AM wouldn't that be pin1yin1 Don't you mean pīnyīn :mrgreen: Quote

Perfectly legitimate request. Will see what I can do. Shouldn't be too difficult. Quote
