Is it possible to click on a dctionary link in a flashcard ?

[kaine42]

Hello everyone,
I use the ABC dictionary for my flashcards and there are a lot of pinyin links to words.
Something like 梏 for example :
"wooden handcuffs in zhìgù"
And when I click on the highlighted zhìgù nothing happens, now it works if i click on view in dictionary and then do it but I wanted to know if it is possible to be redirected to the word directly from the flashcard ?
Thanks !

Hi kaine42,

could it be that you were in this mode?



If I switch to this mode using the 字 button at the upper right, I can tap the link:




Edit: I tried it on Android and found that the link doesn't work there. So I'll pass.

Hope this helps,

Shun

Thank you, I didn't know you could do it on IOS, so I guess it's a ios only feature then.
It would be cool to have such a feature for android too though.

Yeah, just something we haven't gotten around to wiring up but I'll re-up it on our to-do list - thanks.

Hello, I don't know if there is any update on this ? I'm currently learning hanzi individually with the outlier dictionnary through flashcards, and there are a lot of links in it. That redirect to each character components and their system level info.
I'm doing a few hundred per day if we count reviews and new ones and it can become a little bit tiring to also view them in the dictionary every time. Although with the beta 4.0 I don't know if you have the time. And once again thanks for this amazing app, although this is just a mild inconvenience for me but I wanted to ask again just in case. Have a great day.

I thought this was addressed a few updates ago but will make a note to look at it again the next time we do a bug fix update.

Hello,
I just downloaded the 3.2.98 update and now I can click on each flashcard elements that can open a pop up and the pop up will then open itself and display normally. Which was not possible before.

Like "v" displaying verb or "n" noun for example, or the system component level info when clicking on for the oulier dictionnary.
Or any other elements that can open a pop up like the "original meaning" explanation, or the "sound, empty, meaning or form component" explanations for outlier.

Although it's still not possible to click on an exemple word like in ABC or oxford or a component like in outlier and be redirected to the dictionarry entry.
It will still do nothing when clicking on anything that would require a redirect and not only a pop up.

Still, I'm truly thanksful, since it's now better than before.
I have attached a few photo describing the problem that was resolved with the 3.2.98 update. There is only the components or words that redirect to their dictionary entries that still don't work for now.

Thanks you and have a great day.

Glad to hear that the popups are working better.
