yukikuni Posted March 6, 2008 at 11:34 PM Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 at 11:34 PM hello, maybe it is just me but i am having a hard time looking for where to register or login into NewsinChinese.com. i also read on the adsotran.com/blog that some of the chinese classical literatures are annotated and if possible you could tell me where exactly i can read the annotated literate. sorry for any inconvenience! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevelyan Posted March 7, 2008 at 04:20 AM Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 at 04:20 AM Registration isn't necessary for reading. The manually annotated texts are arranged by difficulty level, and can be found on the right-hand column. ie: Newbie -> http://adsotrans.com/newsinchinese/taxonomy/term/16 Elementary -> http://adsotrans.com/newsinchinese/taxonomy/term/18 Intermediate -> http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080303120346.htm Upper-Intermediate -> http://adsotrans.com/newsinchinese/taxonomy/term/20 Advanced -> http://adsotrans.com/newsinchinese/taxonomy/term/21 The really fun stuff starts at the intermediate level, imho. Registration is only really useful for two things: (1) enabling "click-to-add" mode for ChinesePod (clicking on words adds them to ChinesePod vocab lists), or (2) switching the entire site to traditional characters. I guess non-ChinesePod users might want (2), in which case the best thing to do is just sign up for an account at ChinesePod and then re-use the same login. I should stick up a note making this more clear. Didn't do this at first as I'd assumed only CPod users would want to sign in.

trevelyan Posted March 8, 2008 at 08:56 PM Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 at 08:56 PM If anyone wants to enable traditional support, they'll need to create an account. Since not everyone may have a ChinesePod account, I've just enabled anonymous account registration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yukikuni Posted May 12, 2008 at 01:58 AM Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 at 01:58 AM Dear Dave, you've always been helpful and quick to responding questions or concerns, which is much appreciated. recently, i've noticed that newsinchinese.com has not been converting the articles into traditional chinese after preferences have been set to traditional characters. i know Xinhua news is originally in simplified, which may be the reason why it is still in simplified even with the adjusted preferences. could you please let me know how or where i could read articles that are specifically annotated in traditional chinese, thanks!!

trevelyan Posted May 17, 2008 at 02:34 PM Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 at 02:34 PM yukikuni, I took a look at this yesterday (day before?) and think the problem is fixed (it seems fixed for me). Are you still having the problem? Am planning to overhaul the site, and include NewsinChinese as part of something bigger. If people are still having problems I'll take a look though. Best, --dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
