Javascript library for doing general Chinese language operations like translations and simplified/traditional hanzi conversion. Developed for use on http://www.immerser.net and its chrome extension.
Dictionary is provided by cedict. Dictionary lookups done via "trie" data structure.
You need to copy both "await.js" and "cedict_ts.u8" from this repo to your project. Link jQuery, await.js, and then finally chinese.js. You must wait until the dictionary promise is fulfilled before using the library.
// You must wait for this "loaded" promise to be kept before using the dictionary.
Chinese.prototype.loaded.onkeep(function() {
chinese = new Chinese();
chinese.toEnglish('你好'); // Hello!/Hi!/How are you?
chinese.toPinyin('为什么'); // wei4shen2me5
chinese.toTraditional('拉萨'); // 拉薩
chinese.toSimplified('拉薩'); // 拉萨
chinese.getMatchingEntries('着'); // returns an array of all matching dictionary entries
});
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Open localhost:8000, then open the file "SpecRunner.html".
Uses cedict by default. You can use your own version of anything in the cedict format.
