Chinese Configuration

Segmentation​

Sentence segmentation is performed by emacs-jieba. The Emacs package will install the rust dependencies when installed.

(require 'jieba)

Download HSK word lists​

You can check if HSK word lists can be found in paw-hsk-dir. If they can't be found, then they will be downloaded

M-x paw-hsk-update-word-lists

This function will download any necessary files and make the necessary list paw-hsk-easy-words that is used to determine which words should be hidden when using paw-view-note.

Sample configuration​

  (use-package paw
    :straight (:local-repo "~/code/elisp/paw")
    :init (require 'paw-hsk)
    (require 'paw-jieba)
    (paw-hsk-update-word-lists)
    :custom
    (paw-non-ascii-word-separator "⁣") ;; Invisible separator character
    (paw-non-ascii-language "zh")

    (paw-go-translate-langs '(en zh))

    (paw-offline-studylist '(("Chinese Studylist" ;; studylist name when choosing offline studylist
			      (id . "1") ;; random id for internal use, but it could not be the same as any id in online study list defined in `paw-studylist'
			      (language . "zh") ;; language of the studylist
			      (name . "Chinese")) ;; name of the studylist
			     ))

    (paw-search-function #'paw-chinese-search-function)
    (paw-chinese-sdcv-exact-match t)
    (paw-hsk-levels-to-highlight "hsk6 hsk7-to-9"))

Use Org CC-Cedict dictionary​

Org CC-CEDICT is a special sdcv dictionary designed to take advantage of Org-Mode Features.

It restyles CC-CEDICT dictionary entries and uses custom Org-Mode links to display characters with highlighting based on its tone,


  git clone https://github.com/jiewawa/org-cc-cedict.git
  cd org-cc-cedict
  python main.py PATH-TO-CC-CEDICT-FILE

  (setq paw-view-note-meaning-src-lang "org")
  (setq paw-sdcv-dictionary-list '("Org CC-Cedict"))
