Extension summary

Based on the Zhongwen extension by C Shiller (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zhongwen-chinese-english/), this is a fork that adds Cantonese & Jyutping support on top of Pinyin.

All features from the original extension and a few extra ones focused on the Cantonese language are available:

  • Supports both traditional and simplified characters.
  • Includes both the CEDICT Chinese English dictionary as well as https://cantonese.org/download.html)[CC-Canto] dictionary.
  • Shows Jyutping and Pinyin alongside characters.
  • As a learning aid it uses different colors for displaying the Pinyin syllables, depending on the tone of the Chinese character.
  • Can be turned on and off with a single mouse-click.
  • Highlights the characters whose translation is displayed in the pop-up window.
  • Also supports keyboard navigation for translating the next character, the next word, or the previous character.
  • Allows you to add words to a built-in word list. Words from this list can be exported to a text file for further processing, such as importing the words into Anki.
  • Includes links to grammar and usage notes on the Chinese Grammar Wiki.
  • Supports exporting words to the Skritter vocabulary queue.
  • Zhuyin display can be enabled

So happy that this exists, as someone learning both Mandarin, Cantonese (and Hokkien, do you think you can add POJ too? :D) Would be nice if JyutPing was also divided into colors depending on which tone a syllable has.

Nice work! I like how it can show both jyutping and pinyin while also including both traditional and simplified too. Ticks all the boxes. Extremely useful.
