I put

through all languages in Google Translate alphabetically and back to English, (i.e. English to Afrikaans to English to Albanian to English ...) and I got "(Google Translator) You can read.". At one point "(Google Translator)" was "(Google Interpreter)".

Please add Japanese.

warped_wart_wars · September 11, 2021, 3:59am

Yes. Do please add Japanese, @earthrulerr. (Sorry if I don't make sense.)

sir_kitten2 · September 11, 2021, 3:59am

Hiragana and Katakana? No. Kanji? Yes.

warped_wart_wars · September 11, 2021, 4:00am

Exactly.

sir_kitten2 · September 11, 2021, 4:01am

Why did Japanese people like the Chinese language so much?

warped_wart_wars · September 11, 2021, 4:04am

That's from the center of Japan to the center of China.

sir_kitten2 · September 11, 2021, 4:04am

What I mean is, kanji = characters borrowed from Chinese

warped_wart_wars · September 11, 2021, 4:07am

Yes. Both kana were also borrowed from Chinese; they were just simplified.

sir_kitten2 · September 11, 2021, 4:08am

Ok, first things first we need a dictionary API(Thats free and open source)

earthrulerr · September 11, 2021, 4:09am

@sir_kitten2 and @warped_wart_wars will do Japanese part, before we do anything we need a UI.

warped_wart_wars · September 11, 2021, 4:09am

I found this.

sir_kitten2 · September 11, 2021, 4:10am

I'm downloading flags for all of the country's languages we are teaching.(for UI)

sir_kitten2 · September 11, 2021, 4:10am

That's for English, not other languages.

warped_wart_wars · September 11, 2021, 4:12am

Zoom in on that.

sir_kitten2 · September 11, 2021, 4:13am

Oh. Cool.

warped_wart_wars · September 11, 2021, 4:13am

You might need SPLIT BY JSON.

sir_kitten2 · September 11, 2021, 4:14am

Ok.

warped_wart_wars · September 11, 2021, 4:15am
