English to English translation
Has it been implemented? i basically just want to learn new words, or keep phrases that I read. I would like to write one day, and that would be a great way to store useful words and phrases.

dark theme for readlang
The ebook reader looks great on mobile. I'd love to have a toggle button where you can put it in "dark mode", ie white text on black background.

Sometimes I do not get a translation but the very same word. Even so you know the translation. Looks strange to me
I often get the same word as a translation as the English word, for example "kerfuffle".
But If I look up your word list and scroll down, I can find the correct translation. So I think, there must be an error somewhere.1 vote -
Custom Flashcards
As it is, I have to use Anki to make custom flashcards for the books I read, and Readland to remember my digital translations. Can we create our own custom flashcard sets so it can happen on one platform? Thanks.

add British pronounciation to the flashcards and word lists
good afteenoon,
I am learning English with your tool. Very great. Unfortunately in the flashcards mode the pronounciation is American by default and i cannot change it to British. Also the sounds on the word list are American. the only way to hear the british pronounciation is to click on every single word in the word list and click on the speaker in the WordReference window, which is time consuming in the long term.is there any chance it could be looked at please?
I really want to keep using your tool but I right pronounciation is key.
thank you…

Words with more added contexts go first in reviewing flashcards
We know that words with higher frequency appear first when reviewing flashcards. But it would be more useful and intelligent to use the number of added contexts to a word and you review words that have more added contexts first. Because here is the thing. I read material on topics I'm interested in, and some vocabulary I see more often. And that vocabulary is essential to me more than the other, maybe with higher general frequency.

Please fix the problem in Chrome of loading the Edit Flashcard Window
I know I can reload the page to allow "unsafe" scipts but it's annoying having to do this every time. I searched for a way to allow Readlang always to load these windows but it's looks like it has to be resolved on the website's end rather than the user's. It wasn't a problem when I first started using the site, so I'm not sure what changed, but it's definitely negatively effected my usage of the site. Thanks for reading.
4 votesI wonder if this is due to the external dictionary on the edit word panel?
Please let me know which language are you learning. And whether you have edited the default external dictionary.

The option to edit a translation direcltly when reading
and give more than one translation to choose from judging on context.
Also the translations are often not in the right verb tense or conjugated properly in the english (spanish to english)

Integrated dictionaries no longer seem to work with arabic script
The default dictionary for arabic no longer seems to work, and my attempts to add others haven't proven fruitful so far (e.g. http://www.almaany.com/en/dict/ar-en/{{query}}).
Any idea what might be wrong?
Thanks for the amazing site!

Have audio for text
It will be useful to have audio playover option for certain texts in which audio is available. It can help with retention of new words.

add a group field for the flashcards
When I want to study the flashcards, they are grouped according to the website or article from which I added the words. It would be great if I could create my own groups, so that I could choose the flashcards I wanted to study, for example if I am reading an article or book that is not online. As it stands, I have only the choices mentioned or all of the words I have added.

Text tracking while watching YouTube videos
Make text tracking while watching video optionally. Add an option for this.
It's sometimes very inconvenient because of bad synchronisation, and it takes a lot of time to sync it right.
Also, the problem is that many public videos are badly synchronised. And nobody can fix this because the only author has the ability to sync.1 vote -
Running readlang on Microsoft Edge browser
I seem to have trouble running readlang on Edge, where the translations appear over words. Is there a way to run it?

jump to page # or percentage of text
I'm reading a long novel in ReadLang. I lost my place (50% in) by accidentally jumping ahead to 84%. It seems there is no way to go back or forwards other than one page at a time. The app needs a "jump to..." feature or slider like other eBook readers.
Also, ReadLang now thinks I have read 84% of this book which I can't change.

to add the possibility to import movie subtitles, e.g. in the srt format.
Since subtitles to movies are available online for various languages it would be good to consider them seriously here as a useful source. It is indeed possible even now to import text subtitles, however, it would be nice to see only the text on the screen and not the time marks. It would be also useful to have the possibility to import subtitle for two languages (one you know and one you learn), and see the two at the same screen, one by one.
And, a native Android application would be nice...

Highlight unknown words
It would be great to have the ability to highlight unknown words, as is done in LingQ. There is something very satisfying about seeing the amount of unknown words get smaller and smaller as I learn a language.

problems with sign in
I love your site and want to purchase but there is a problem with your sign in. I created an account to log in by email. When I go to sign on again is reads sign on through google and will not accept my password. I try to re-register but the system tells me someone is already using that email and pass word. I was going to pay today but not now until the sign in problem can be corrected.

Ability to sort word by frequency in your chosen text
It would be nice to be able to sort words by how often they appear in the text rather than how often they appear in the language itself. This would make it easier to read longer texts

Translation Behavior Display Settings
Current translation behavior for "highlight" or "underline" is to provide the translation above the selected word/phrase. This often causes a shift in the text and uneven line spacing. Implement double line spacing display option so that the above text translation does not disturb/shift line locations
