Jockster Posted August 3, 2006 at 07:22 AM Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 at 07:22 AM First of all, a big thanks to Trevelyan & Co for their commendable efforts, Adsotrans is very cool and of great help to us learners. Then the question, just a small detail in Adso Vocab: would it be possible to let the user choose whether the tones are displayed as numbers instead of tone marks? The reason I'm asking is that I found it easy to export Adso Vocab lists to Declan's FlashCard program. The only problem is this program does not understand the tone marks. The second request is that there would be a space between each pinyin syllable, e.g. tou2 qiu2 instead of tou2qiu2. Would it be possible to implement these options? Perhaps they are already on your roadmap for Adso Vocab? Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevelyan Posted August 4, 2006 at 02:25 PM Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 at 02:25 PM You're swimming upstream! Everyone else wants the tone marks! It should be possible to have users choose their display option for tones. Won't get to this for another week, but thanks for the suggestion.

Jockster Posted August 7, 2006 at 08:17 AM Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 at 08:17 AM Thanks for the reply. If I were just going to print the lists then tone marks or numbers would not be an issue (I can't say I've noticed any difference in terms of memorizing them), this is just a technical problem. Any which way, I do like to have a space between each syllable, just a personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konglong Posted September 9, 2006 at 04:03 PM Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 at 04:03 PM I think the Wenlin Demo has this function. Switch from tones to numbers. Give that a try. www.wenlin.com Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevelyan Posted September 9, 2006 at 06:21 PM Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 at 06:21 PM Implemented.... just toggle the appropriate checkbox on the "edit/options" page for any wordlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taibei Posted September 10, 2006 at 02:04 AM Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 at 02:04 AM request ... a space between each pinyin syllable, e.g. tou2 qiu2 instead of tou2qiu2. Agh! Ugh! Ick! You'd be better off trying to overcome this unfortunate preference than asking that others mess up proper Pinyin (not "PinYin"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockster Posted September 18, 2006 at 10:15 AM Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 at 10:15 AM Don't overreact, Taibei. Take a deep breath...that's it, breathe As I stated in my first post, I wanted to export the adso vocab lists to Declan's Flashcard application, and that requires that superfluous space between syllables.

Perfectly legitimate request. Will see what I can do. Shouldn't be too difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
