silverwofl0 Posted July 21, 2005 at 01:59 AM Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 at 01:59 AM Is there a website where I can paste or link a site with characters and translate them all into pinyin? I've tried Rikia where I have to highlight one by one but I need something that does the whole page or a whole text. I have lyrics to a chinese song that I want to sing to but it is in all characters and I want to read it in pinyin. Thanks in advance.

roddy Posted July 21, 2005 at 02:07 AM Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 at 02:07 AM Adsotrans.com will do this, just make sure you choose the correct options. Will only work on simplified characters. Roddy PS I think a search would have found this for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevelyan Posted July 21, 2005 at 06:49 AM Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 at 06:49 AM Try annotating using the Pintone option. It prints pinyin and tone marks above the characters in a way similar to childrens books. A nice way of learning characters since you look at them alongside the pinyin. All of the controls are in the advanced page here:. http://www.adsotrans.com/advanced.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverwofl0 Posted July 22, 2005 at 08:19 PM Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 at 08:19 PM Thanks a lot. Adsotate works wonders although I somehow can't get the tones to print out on my printer, just the pinyin and characters. On a related question, is there possibly something like this for Cantonese pinyin/romanization? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted July 23, 2005 at 02:08 AM Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 at 02:08 AM When using the Pintone feature the tone marks are shown by images - there may be an option somewhere to print / not print images on your computer, I'm not sure.

wai ming Posted July 23, 2005 at 12:00 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 at 12:00 PM As for Cantonese romanisation, check my reply to your thread at www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/phorum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atitarev Posted July 24, 2005 at 09:19 AM Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 at 09:19 AM Apart from a few online converters there are offline programs that can do this job very well. These 2 can convert to pinyin with tone marks or tone numbers. NJStar tone marks are not easy to copy into other programs but no problem with Wenlin. NJStar Chinese WP www.njstar.com Wenlin www.wenlin.com If you google you can find macro code for MS Word to convert pinyin with tone numbers with nice tone marks. HanConv converts not only to Pinyin but to Jyutping and Yale romanization for Cantonese. www.icycloud.tk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbico Posted August 4, 2005 at 02:36 PM Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 at 02:36 PM actually, here's a nice page that will do some great translating. well, doesn't really translate, just provides pop-up boxes for the chinese chars. but those boxes contain a hell of a lot of info, pinyin for trad & simp, cantonese pronounce, and japanese too. check it out! http://www.popjisyo.com/WebHint/Portal_e.aspx Just enter in the Chinese page you wanna view, select the language converstion to Chinese --> English. And woala, mouse over the chinese chars for the pop-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
