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. Provide a nice-looking cyrillic font with serif

    I tried the few fonts that are available but did not find a cyrillic font (russian) pleasant to look at.

  2. add a way to mark and sideline "leeches".

    For words that I get wrong, say, 5 times, it would be nice to mark them as leeches and take them out of active flashcards. Then if I encounter that word again in text, I could reactivate it and it back in to active flashcards but with a new context sentence.

  5. use VNTokenizer for Vietnamese

    Vietnamese separates syllables with spaces, so you have to use a tokenizer to find the words. As the beta version of Readlang currently stands, each syllable is considered a word and multi-syllabic words are considered phrases, which Readlang treats quite differently.

  6. Allow Highlighting with Showing Translation or Dictionary

    During my first pass through an article, I like to just highlight the words I don't know, but not actually see the translations or the dictionary. In addition to the "Translations On" and "Translations Off (monolingual)" options, it would be nice if there was a "Highlight Only" mode. Perhaps this could also be implemented/presented as a "Don't open dictionary" option on the "Translations Off" mode.

  8. Days before order/display

    Is it possible to order the words shown in the tabular display in order of days remaining to the next prompt (ascending or descending). And preferably to show the number of remaining days.

    I find the "forgotten" words typically to be in the 20-50.day range, and would like to be able to select this group for re-testing

  9. Update default Korean dictionaries to Daum's small form factor

    The default Korean-English dictionary is Daum, but it uses the full size form factor, so doesn't fit well in the sidebar. However, they also have small form factor dictionary that looks a lot better and still has the same functionality. I know users can customize the dictionary, but I think this would be a better default:

    http://small.dic.daum.net/search.do?q={{query}}&dic=eng

    While you're at it, I'd also recommend changing the monolingual dictionary to their small form factor Korean-Korean dictionary. Not only is this more consistent with the other dictionary, but it also handles multiple words and particles and conjugations on words. The current default…

  11. Problem with iOS

    If you accidentally turn the screen into horizontal mode when reading the book on iOS device (I have iPhone 5s) the zooming settings would go stuck.
    Only way out is to close the "app" and open it up again.
    Waiting desperately for the android app to appear so i can read on my barnes&noble.

  12. How about adding F. M. S. P.?

    Some words in certain languages have Feminine, Masculine, Singular, and plural versions of the same word.
    This makes flash cards a little difficult for languages such as Spanish when translating with English which doesn't have Feminine or Masculine terms.
    By adding F. S. the learner knows which form of the given word they are asking for.

  13. Right single quote = Apostrophe

    Right now the index cards count

    U+2019 : RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK {single comma quotation mark}

    and

    U+0027 : APOSTROPHE {APL quote}

    as separate characters. For whatever reason, some of the books I've uploaded use U+2019 instead of U+0027 as apostrophes, so it gets really annoying to have to add a "correction" for every word that has an apostrophe.

  15. Allow words to be separated at apostrophes

    I'd like to be able to split words at apostrophes instead of just spaces. In Welsh, for instance, 'r is often tacked on at the end of words for "the" in front of the next word. For example: Dw i'n hoffi'r gath = I like the cat. There should be an option for "hoffi" to be its own word in those situations, instead of "hoffi'r".

  16. Support mutations for Celtic languages

    Oftentimes Celtic languages, such as Welsh and Irish, will have the same word with different starting letters. I would like the option to combine contexts for the same word with different mutations.

    For example: Mae'r gath yn ddu = The cat is black,
    Mae cath gyda fi = I have a cat

  18. Include the Title in the "body" of an article.

    When importing an article from the web, the importer does a good job of distinguishing the body of the article from the title. The only catch is, we can't actually "readlang" the title! The title needs to be just as interactive as the body text. Thanks. :)

  19. Option to switch off the video and only read

    Currently, if the text has video, the video plays along with the text. But if I want to read the text only, it is difficult. I can pause the video and read, but if I click any text for translation, the video will start from that place. An option to disable the video would be great.

  20. the Japanese language course.

    It appears so far--with the one I've tried-- to translate the English words into English and the pinyin words into the same pinyin words which really isn't of much help. Perhaps having an English to pinyin and Pinyin to English translation instead?
