Finally theres a plugin for Firefox that will allow you to mouse over chinese and get a popup that
gives you the pinyin pronuncation and english meaning. I modded the plugin Rikai-chan which did
the same to Japanese along with adding the ability to export the word you highlighted to an
external file you can use to add to a flashcard list or something like that. It searches the
CEDICT dictionary file which doesnt seem to have anywhere near the entries the japanese EDICT has,
but its better than nothing. If all else fails , you can at least get a character by character
reading. In the options you menu you can choose Simplified or Traditional which will change what
gets displayed in the popup AND what version will be exported (if you choose both it will export
both but display simplified in teh popup). Currently the export format is in GB2312 so it might
looked scrambled in notepad or something but will read correctly when you import your list into a
flashcard program that reads that encoding. Later I will add more features and fix little things
here and there (I modded it in 5 hours) but it is way more than usable now so I figured it release
it rather than using just for myself. Enjoy!! Comments/Ideas welcome.

Why does it say "please install a dictionary for peraperakun" when I try to toggle it on?










xentropic -

do you have rikaichan installed also, apparently theres a resource confict with that ?? ill fix it
in a few days, it worked fine on 4 computers that i tested it on










gato -

No, never had rikaichan installed. I do have moji installed, however.










necroflux -

Got the same message here, I don't have any dictionaries installed to my knowledge.










xentropic -

yea your right there was something in the code looking for a dictionary to be installed....fixed
that problem, sorry about that, i double checked it this time should work. so please uninstall it
and try the new one. v0.1.1

ive been using it for awhile and so has my friend and finally decided to put it up for people so
there might be a few problems at the beginning on other peoples machines...dunno










doumeizhen -

can you give us the new link, please?










xentropic -

i uploaded the fix like over 12 hours ago but its waiting "approval" from mozilla which is just an
automated script that checks the files validity, once thats over it will be on the same site and
appear as ver 0.1.1 dunno when that will ever happen, but when it does you can download it from
the same site










atitarev -

Yes, give us the new download link, please!

I am an active user of Rikaichan. Hanzi Bar is similar but Rikaichan has a better look-and-feel, I
was looking forward to this innovation!

The alternative is Hanzi Bar, you can read any Chinese web-page in your Firefox, and you can do it
off-line, too.

It's a bit tricky, you also need to install dictionaries (separate download)

Let's see what peraperakun does!
