Hi there,
I've recently moved from using Pleco on a Windows Mobile system to Android 2.3.4. I generally use the Pleco Flashcards platform to practice my Chinese, as was intended, but also have a set of English-only flashcards for practicing newly-learned vocabulary in my native language. On the Windows Pleco system there were two broad settings for importing flashcards, Chinese-to-English and English-to-Chinese (this is from memory, as obviously my licence transfer does not allow me to go back and use the Windows Mobile system anymore). When importing these all-English cards for my all-English flashcard database (from a self-made .txt file) I had to use the opposite setting to when I was importing Chinese flashcards (I think this was English-to-Chinese, as opposed Chinese-to-English). However, on the new Android flashcard system there does not appear to be any such distinction. Perhaps as a result, I am having problems importing new all-English cards. Currently, there are both problems with encoding and the fact that all cards are created anew, creating duplication problems. Given I have nearly 900 cards, this is obviously a bit of an issue.
This may be a bit of special case, as I'm not sure how many other people use Pleco flashcards for English-only practice. However, if there are any forum members who have advice on this, or can explain why there is no English-to-Chinese setting on the Android flashcard system, I'd appreciate advice.
Many thanks,
Graham
