Does anything bug you about using Readlang? Add or vote on suggestions to improve it!

NOTE: Readlang is run by just one person, me, Steve. Even entire software development teams can't implement all the great ideas that they come up with, and this is doubly true in my case since I'm just a single person. So although I read all the ideas posted here, I can't possibly implement most of them. The feedback definitely helps inform my product decisions though, so please keep posting!

  1. Add a few languages...

    Hi Steve, based on the amount of related ideas I'm sure this is nothing novel, but I have been studying a fair amount of minority languages similar to ones I already speak, and no reading aid with vocabulary tracking works with them natively*.

    Namely:
    Low German/Saxon
    West Frisian (*LanguageCrush actually does support Frisian)
    Faroese
    Northern Sámi

    Attempts to use them in tools that don't really support them, e.g., Readlang or LingQ just don't work very well, and I don't find the reader of configurable tools like LWT/Lute nearly as good as those mentioned above.

  2. Integrate the APP with a well frequented "open" forum on language learning

    Great app. I can't stop making publicity for it, although I am not a stakeholder ;-) but you, Steve, are really the first and still the only one who designed an apps starting from a user's needs, not just wanting to do any better than those hundreds of copies/remakes of bad and incomplete LL-apps.

    Do I see a forum somewhere to discus READLANG ? if not, you may want to have a look at our forum, duome.eu where we have plans to open a discussion forum just for Readlang and maybe for other LL-apps too.

    You may also email me…

  3. Scroll to current location when editing text in sidebar

    I'd like to fix obvious mistakes in the translated book I'm reading, but opening the side bar to edit the text and then finding the spot I'm at in order to change it is not practical for a novel, particularly on a phone. Would be nice if it could auto-scroll down to match the top of your current page when you opened the text editor.

  4. Furigana for japanese

    For the japanese learning mode, it would be very helpful to have furigana(the word's pronuciation writting in hiragana) above the words. It is very slow to check the pronunciation through the definition tab

    I know that Google Translate doesn't have Dari language, but Bing Translate does.
    Can you add this language to Readlang?

  8. Make it better than ChatGPT

    I've started using ChatGPT and love it. Not everything is there that I would want. Learning languages has come a long way since I started years ago.

    The first major issue is being able to use with pdfs. Right now I can make better use of DeepL and Reverso with phrases. I tried Readlang and I can get only one word and the English translation is on top of the spanish so not readable.

    I see you are bringing AI into the program. I haven’t experienced that yet. We need audio in natural voice so text to speech. I can…

  9. What is a hack to fixing PayPal 403 error?

    When trying to access your PayPal account, if you receive the 403 prohibited error, your internet service provider is probably to blame. Connecting to a different router will help you identify the issue. It's time to get in touch with your ISP for more help if the problem doesn't go away.
    Your public IP address, which was given to you by your internet service provider, has occasionally been banned by PayPal. If so, speak with your ISP to see if they can assist in resolving the problem.

  10. Give full support to Welsh?

    It would be wonderful if Welsh could have full functionality (so that words are prioritised on frequency). So many people are learning Welsh now, via Duolingo and Dysgu Cymraeg ...

  11. Level of proficiency

    Hi,

    I only wanted to know how you calculate the level (A1 to C1) for a text? That would be very useful so I can justify wich text to use with my students.

    Thanks a lot

  12. Track time of how long you've been reading a book/article

    It would be nice if you could automatically track time while a book/article is open. And then when you click out of the book/article the tracker would stop. This way you can see how long each book takes you to read.

  13. Allow to separate all vocab from starred vocab specifically in each different book/article

    Vocab for each book/article is already separated. However, I like to only add my starred vocab to anki. I add vocab lists for each book I finish. It would be nice to be able to select all starred vocab but specifically the starred vocab only for that book that I completed.

  14. Third-party apps to view the clipboard history on Android

    However, you can see the clipboard history on Android by default. But if you can not see that due to any reason then you can use some third-party apps to view the history. Gboard is one of them. It is a very famous app where you can see your clipboard history. Firstly, you need to install the Gboard app and set it as your default keyboard. Now, type anywhere with that keyboard. Then click on the clipboard icon that is shown above the letters. Then click on “Turn on Clipboard” Now, copy the text that you want to save to…

  15. make it easier to add your own translation straightaway

    Other similar apps/software allow you to write in your own definition of a word or phrase immediately without having to click (in Readlang's case) several times on the word/phrase or navigate to a different panel. This would be a really helpful addition to Readlang for me (especially when reading Latin) as - at the moment - the automatic translations are often not sufficient and the current method for adding your own translation is quite time-consuming (compared to just having the word pop up in the side panel and being able to input translation immediately).

  16. Require typing the correct phrase when incorrect

    For the option of typing in a phrase or word, when we get it wrong it just moves on to the next card. I feel like requiring/allowing the user to type in the correct answer even if the answer is visible allows for some internalization and output. As it is now, the input field becomes inactive.

    For me personally it helps to type the correct answer in the address bar a few times to output it a few times myself, so think it'd be nice to have as part of the user flow.

    Hi,
    Some books have images/photos stored in .epub file. But for the moment, it's not supported by ReadLang. When I upload my .epub file, photos are gone.
    I hope you can implement this. Thank you!

  19. Support for PDFs on Goethe Institute and Other Access Controlled PDF Readers

    Goethe Institute, Hoopla, and other free access libraries have a ton of content for language learners. But the browser extension doesn't work in these PDF readers.

    I would love to see the browser extension offer support for these kinds of PDFs.
