We've just licensed a set of German / French / Spanish / Italian <> Chinese dictionaries

Awesome!! What is the schedule for releasing them (the German one is enough :p)? Will we be notified about new add-ons in-app, or are they tied to a new App Store version anyway?

We're debating whether to tie them to a new app version - question is whether we really need a separate "German" language dictionary list to go along with Chinese / English or whether we should simply change "English" to "Not Chinese" and let people do language-specific stuff through custom dictionary groups.

The HanDeDict couple of dictionaries already exists, and I haven't even noticed that 'E' doesn't make sense when talking about German. Has this been issue for Grand Ricci users? If not...then I hope I am not the only person who would prefer an early release of the dictionaries! ;)

Hasn't been an issue for Ricci users, AFAIK, but I don't believe a whole lot of people use it to look up Chinese translations of French words.

Hi Mike,

I noticed HCD doesn't seem to have an entry for 觀. (iPad). I'm wondering if it's related to the fact that one version of HCD I looked at only shows this entry:

①[guanㄍㄨㄢ]
“觀”的簡化字。
觀②[guanㄍㄨㄢˋ]
“觀”的簡化字。

Also when do you predict the supplement will be added to HDC? TIA, as always!

That relates to an encoder bug - affected a few other single character entries too, should have a fix shortly.

Supplement probably around the end of the year, we're about to start going through a long backlog of dictionary database work once we finish this blasted Android L update.
 
Thanks for the HDC update! Looks like you managed to trim down the file's size a bit?

Just a heads-up on a remaining small py bug I found today:

Thanks - still a lot of work to do on that, this was just fixing the issue @laobaigou (and a few other people) had mentioned with some single-character entries going missing. File size reduction related to a bug fix in our database encoder app, there was some useless / redundant data we weren't stripping out properly.

Small imperfection: Searching for "宁" yields seven very similar results in the KEY dictionary. See
