Problem with some custom words in flashcards

[lmcjipo]

Hi Mike,

I've been having a problem entering some custom dictionary entries into my flashcards.

Whenever I enter these words, PlecoDict v1.0.3 seems to place an apostrophe in the pinyin. I want to remove the apostrophe but it always comes back.

The 3 words that I have so far noticed problems with are:
Canada
office
Vancouver

The thing that I noticed similar between these 3 examples is that they all comprise of multiple characters and one of the pinyin representation for one of the characters has a "g" at the beginning or end.

For example, for "office", I use 办公室and the pinyin I use is ban4gong1shi4. PlecoDict will see this as ban4'gong1shi4. I then tried changing the custom dictonary via the flashcard screen to ba4ngo1ngshi4 and it will accept it but when I try to edit this entry again, PlecoDict changes it to bang4ong1shi4. I then go back to edit my custom entry and it now becomes bang4'ong1shi4.

I get the same/similar results for Canada (Jia1na2da4) and Vancouver (Wen1ge1hua2).

I'm not sure if I'm explaining my problem correctly. If you need more information or don't know what I'm writing about, I can give the step by step of what I'm doing and what I'm getting as a result.

Thanks.

That's a bug in the Pinyin converter - actually not a bug per se, we did it deliberately since it sped things up significantly (important when you're doing an import of thousands of flashcards). But it should be fixed in 2.0. For now about all I can suggest is that you live with the apostrophes.
